ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to investigate the association between anticholinergic burden or anticholinergic drug use and xerostomia and/or xerophtalmia in elderly through a systematic review of the published literature. METHODS: A search was carried out in 3 databases (CINAHL, Embase and Pubmed). Studies conducted in people ≥65 years of age, who took anticholinergic medications, and measured the association between the anticholinergic burden or the use of these medications with the prevalence of xerostomia and / or xerophthalmia, published up to August 2022, were selected. Studies published in languages other than Spanish and/or English were excluded. RESULTS: One thousand two hundred eleven articles were identified, 10 were selected for this review: six cross-sectional studies, two cohorts, one case-control and one randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 3535 patients included in the different studies were studied. The most used scales were the Anticholinergic Drug Scale (ADS) and the Anticholinergic Risk Scale (ARS). Four articles studied the relationship between the use of anticholinergic medication and the prevalence of xerostomia and / or xerophthalmia, finding a positive relationship with xerostomia in all of them. Another 6 measured the relationship between anticholinergic burden and xerostomia and / or xerophthalmia. Four found a positive relationship between anticholinergic burden and xerostomia and/or xerophthalmia. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest a clear relationship between the use of anticholinergic drugs or anticholinergic burden and the presence of xerostomia. This relationship was less conclusive in the case of xerophthalmia.

Introduction: Etoposide is widely used in pediatric chemotherapy. At the moment, there is conflicting data in the literature on the incidence of etoposide hypersensitivity. The aim of this study is to assess etoposide hypersensitivity incidence and to evaluate potential risk factors for hypersensitivity in pediatrics.Methods: Retrospective study of pediatric patients treated with etoposide since June 2013 until September 2020. Symptoms of hypersensitivity, grade of hypersensitivity reaction according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events guidelines and management of hypersensitivity reaction data were collected.Results: 213 patients were treated with etoposide during the period of the study. The mean age was 6.8 (range 0.2-17 years), 58.7% were male. Doses administered ranged from 100-200 mg/m2 and from 2.5-6 mg/kg, median infusion rate was 55 (2-200) mg/h and median infusion concentration was 0.3 (0.2-0.5) mg/ml. Hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 23 (10.8%) patients, 3 and 20 cases were classified as grade I and II respectively. All hypersensitivity reactions were successfully managed with medication and reduction of the infusion rate. No statistical significant association between the variables collected and the apparition of hypersensitivity reactions was found.Conclusions: The incidence of hypersensitivity reaction was higher than the described in the summary of products characteristics. All reactions were mild being resolved by standard treatment. (AU)
Introducción: Existen datos contradictorios en la literatura sobre la incidencia de hipersensibilidad a etopósido. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la incidencia de hipersensibilidad asociada a etopósido y posibles factores de riesgo asociados en pacientes pediátricos en un hospital de tercer nivel.Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes pediátricos tratados con etopósido desde junio de 2013 hasta septiembre de 2020. Se recogieron los datos acerca de síntomas asociados a la reacción de hipersensibilidad, grado de la reacción de hipersensibilidad según la Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Guidelines y el manejo de la reacción de hipersensibilidad.Resultados: Se identificaron 213 pacientes tratados con etopósido. La mediana de edad fue de 6,75 (rango 0,16-17 años), el 58,68% eran hombres. Las dosis administradas variaron entre 100-200 mg/m2 y 2,5-6 mg/kg, las medianas de velocidad de infusión y concentración fueron 55 (2-200) mg/h y 0,3 (0,2-0,5) mg/ml respectivamente. Las reacciones de hipersensibilidad ocurrieron en 23 (10,8%) pacientes, clasificadas como grado I (3) y II (20). Todas las reacciones fueron manejadas con éxito mediante medicación y reducción de la velocidad de infusión. No se encontró asociación estadística entre las variables evaluadas y las reacciones de hipersensibilidad.Conclusiones: La incidencia de reacciones de hipersensibilidad fue superior a la descrita en ficha técnica. Todas las reacciones fueron moderadas y manejadas con tratamiento estándar. (AU)

Introduction: Carboplatin dosage methods are often based on renal clearance. An accurate determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be obtained by measuring 51Cr-EDTA clearance; however, this method is laborious. For that matter, various formulae have been developed to estimate the GFR. The aim of this study is to compare carboplatin doses calculated by Mann/Pein formula with GFR measured by 51Cr-EDTA clearance and GFR estimated with Schwartz formulae in children.Methods: All cancer paediatric patients whose GFR was measured by 51Cr-EDTA were included. GFR was also estimated with Schwartz formulae. To calculate carboplatin dose, Mann/Pein formula was used. A target Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 5 mg/ml/min was chosen. Carboplatin doses were calculated with two different values of GFR calculated previously.Results: A total of 33 patients were identified with a median age of 10 years old (range 1-17), 63.6% were males. The median weight, height and BSA were 28 kg (range 8-84.4 kg), 137 cm (range 64-182 cm) and 1.04 m2 (range 0,37-2,1 m2) respectively. The mean of carboplatin doses calculated with GFR measured by 51Cr-EDTA was 274.3±135.7 mg and with GFR estimated with Schwartz formulae was 364.9±156.6 mg. The mean difference between methods was 90.6 mg, P<0.001.Conclusion: Carboplatin doses calculated with GFR estimated by Schwartz were statistically higher than those measured with 51Cr-EDTA. This variability may be a risk factor leading to inadequate dosage of patients treated with carboplatin. (AU)
Introducción: Existen métodos de dosificación de carboplatino que emplean el aclaramiento renal. La tasa de filtrado glomerular (TFG) puede ser determinada de forma precisa mediante el aclaramiento de Cr51-EDTA, sin embargo, este método es laborioso. Por ello, diversas fórmulas se han desarrollado para estimar la TFG. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar las dosis de carboplatino calculadas empleando la TFG medida con Cr51-EDTA y la estimada con la fórmula de Schwartz en pediatría.Métodos: Todos los pacientes oncológicos pediátricos a los cuales se les midió la TFG mediante Cr51-EDTA fueron incluidos. Las TFG fueron también estimadas con la fórmula de Schwartz. Para calcular la dosis de carboplatino se empleó la fórmula de Mann/Pein. Se seleccionó un objetivo de Área Bajo la Curva (AUC) de 5 mg/ml/min. Las dosis de carboplatino fueron calculadas empleando los dos valores de TFG obtenidos previamente.Resultados: Se identificaron un total de 33 pacientes con una mediana de edad de 10 años (rango 1-17 años), el 63,6% eran hombres. La mediana de dosis de carboplatino calculadas con la TFG medida con Cr51-EDTA y la estimada con la fórmula de Schwartz fueron respectivamente 274,3±135,7 mg y 364,9 ±156,6 mg. La diferencia media entre métodos fue de 90,6 mg (p<0,001). Conclusión: Las dosis de carboplatino calculadas con la TFG estimada por la fórmula de Schwartz fueron significativamente superiores a las obtenidas con la TFG medida con Cr51-EDTA. Esta variabilidad puede ser un factor de riesgo pudiendo provocar una dosificación inadecuada en pacientes tratados con carboplatino. (AU)
