ABSTRACT
Background Liver injury has been documented independently in novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and patients treated with lopinavir-ritonavir.Objective to investigate the drug-induced liver injury associated with lopinavir-ritonavir among the patients with COVID-19.Methods We conducted a disproportionality analysis of US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) between 2020Q1 and 2020Q3 to evaluate the association between lopinavir-ritonavir and risk of drug-induced liver injury (or severe drug-induced liver injury) and calculated their reporting odds ratios (RORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results A total of 1,754 reports of drug-induced liver injury in patients with COVID-19. The ROR for drug-induced liver injury was 1.4 (95% CI, 1.1–1.7), 3.6 (95% CI, 2.7–4.7), and 0.8 (95% CI, 0.7-1.0) when comparing lopinavir-ritonavir with all other drugs, hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine only, and remdesivir, respectively. For severe drug-induced liver injury, RORs for lopinavir-ritonavir provided evidence of an association compared with all other drugs (ROR, 4.9; 95% CI, 3.7–6.5), compared with hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine only (ROR, 4.3; 95% CI, 3.0-6.2), and compared with remdesivir (ROR, 10.4; 95% CI, 7.2–15.0).Conclusions In the FAERS, we observed a disproportional signal for severe drug-induced liver injury associated with lopinavir-ritonavir in patients with COVID-19.
