ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and seriousness of drug-induced arrhythmia and to identify predictors associated with the seriousness of arrhythmia. Drug-induced arrhythmia cases reported to the Korean Adverse Event Reporting System Database (KAERS DB) from January 2012 to December 2021 were investigated. A disproportionality test was performed to detect the association of the etiologic medication classes and types, along with patient demographic information, with the seriousness of drug-induced arrhythmia. Logistic regression was performed to investigate the predictors that increase the risk of serious arrhythmia. The most common etiologic agent for drug-induced arrhythmia was sevoflurane, whereas serious arrhythmia was most prevalent with narcotics. Antibiotics (reporting odds ratio (ROR) 4.125; 95% CI 1.438-11.835), chemotherapy (ROR 6.994; 95% CI 2.239-21.542), and iodinated contrast media (ROR 8.273; 95% CI 3.062-22.352) had a strong association with the seriousness of drug-induced arrhythmia. Among numerous etiologic agents, ioversol (ROR 16.490; 95% CI 3.589-75.772) and lidocaine (ROR 12.347; 95% CI 2.996-50.884) were more likely to be reported with serious arrhythmia. Aging and comorbidity, primarily cancer, are the most contributing predictors associated with serious arrhythmia. Further studies on the clinical significance of patient-specific predictors for the increased risk of serious drug-induced arrhythmia are warranted to promote drug safety.

ABSTRACT

This retrospective cross-sectional study aims to investigate the prevalence and seriousness of drug-induced nephrotoxicity and to identify clinical predictors intensifying the seriousness of nephrotoxicity. Adverse drug events (ADEs) reported to the Korean Adverse Event Reporting System Database (KAERS DB) from January 2012 to December 2021 were investigated. The association between the seriousness and the etiologic drug was estimated in reporting odds ratio (ROR) based on disproportionality analysis. Logistic regression was utilized to recognize predictors associated with serious nephrotoxicity. The majority of ADEs were reported in ages 30 to 59, and immunosuppressants were the most etiologic medications. ADEs involving antibiotics, including vancomycin (ROR 0.268; 95% CI 0.129-0.557), were less likely to be serious. More than 93% of cyclosporine-related ADEs were serious nephrotoxicity, whereas tacrolimus was less likely to report serious nephrotoxicity (ROR 0.356; 95% CI 0.187-0.680). The risk of serious nephrotoxicity was decreased with aging (ROR 0.955; 95% CI 0.940-0.972) while increased in women (OR 2.700; 95% CI 1.450-5.008). Polypharmacy was associated with increased risk of interstitial nephritis (OR 1.019; 95% CI 1.001-1.038). However, further studies investigating the impact of clinical practice on ADE incidences as well as clinical prognosis related to nephrotoxicity are obligated.
