A pharmacovigilance study of association between proton-pump inhibitors and rhabdomyolysis event based on FAERS database. Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology BACKGROUND AND AIM:The association between proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and rhabdomyolysis were unclear. The aim of this study was to explore and systematically analyze the potential link between five PPIs and the rhabdomyolysis events using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS:Suspected rhabdomyolysis events associated with PPIs were identified by data mining with the reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the information component (IC), and Empirical Bayes Geometric Mean (EBGM). Demographic information, drug administration, and outcomes of PPI-induced rhabdomyolysis events were also analyzed. RESULTS:There were 3311 reports associated with PPI-induced rhabdomyolysis that were identified. After removing duplicates, 1899 cases were determined to contain complete patient demographic data. The average age was 65 ± 18 year and 57% were male. Omeprazole and pantoprazole had the same largest percentage of reports. Lansoprazole had the highest ROR index of 12.67, followed by esomeprazole (11.18), omeprazole (10.27), rabeprazole (10.06), and pantoprazole (9.24). PRR, IC, and EBGM showed similar patterns. This suggested that lansoprazole exhibited the strongest correlation with rhabdomyolysis. In rhabdomyolysis events, PPIs were mainly "concomitant" (>60%), and only a few cases were "primary suspects" (<15%). Rabeprazole showed the lowest death rate while lansoprazole showed the highest. CONCLUSIONS:The study suggested that significant rhabdomyolysis signals were associated with PPIs. Further research should be performed in drug safety evaluation for a more comprehensive association. 10.1111/jgh.16411
Proton pump inhibitors associated acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease: data mining of US FDA adverse event reporting system. Wu Bin,Li Dan,Xu Ting,Luo Min,He Zhiyao,Li Yuwen Scientific reports Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were widely used. Observational studies suggested increasing risk of kidney injury in patients with PPIs treatment. We gathered six PPI regimens and adverse reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2019. We employed reporting odds ratio (ROR) to detect signals. Finally, we identified 3187 PPIs-associated AKI cases and 3457 PPIs-associated CKD cases. We detected significant signals between PPIs and AKI as well as CKD. The signal strength was stronger for CKD (ROR = 8.80, 95% CI 8.49-9.13) than AKI (ROR = 3.95, 95% CI 3.81-4.10), while dexlansoprazole performed stronger association for CKD (ROR = 34.94, 95% CI 30.89-39.53) and AKI (ROR = 8.18, 95% CI 7.04-9.51) than the other five PPIs. The median time from PPIs use to event occurrence was 23 days for AKI and 177 days for CKD. PPIs-associated AKI resulted larger proportion of death, life-threatening, hospitalization and disability events than PPIs-associated CKD. By mining the FAERS big data, we provided more information between PPIs use and the AKI and CKD events. PPIs rational use should be repeatedly stressed. 10.1038/s41598-021-83099-y
A pharmacovigilance study of the association between proton pump inhibitors and tumor adverse events based on the FDA adverse event reporting system database. Frontiers in pharmacology Background:Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are effective treatments for acid-related disorders but may pose tumor risks with long-term use. Current research on PPI-associated tumor adverse events (TAEs) is limited and inconclusive. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the relationship between PPIs and TAEs. Methods:We analyzed PPI adverse reaction reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database spanning from 2004 to 2024, focusing on five commonly used PPIs: esomeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, and rabeprazole. We conducted a disproportionality analysis utilizing the Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) to identify potential TAEs associated with PPIs. We conducted univariate logistic regression analysis to explore the influencing factors. Results:A total of 3,133 TAEs were identified, representing 2.36% of all PPI-related adverse events (AEs). The most common TAEs were gastric cancer (19.05%) and malignant neoplasm (7.23%). Disproportionality analysis revealed ten significant TAEs associated with PPIs, including gastric adenocarcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. The median age of those reporting TAEs was 59 (interquartile range [IQR]: 51-70), and 29.70% of them resulted in a fatality. TAEs associated with PPIs were less likely to occur in elderly patients (65-75: OR = 0.91 [0.87-0.95], < 0.001; >75: OR = 0.93 [0.89-0.98], < 0.01). Conclusion:TAEs constitute a small but significant fraction of PPI-related AEs. This study highlights the need for cautious long-term use of PPIs and further research to understand the underlying mechanisms and risk factors. Clinicians should be aware of the potential tumor risks associated with prolonged PPI treatment. 10.3389/fphar.2024.1524903
