RESUMO
Understanding different cardiometabolic safety profiles of antipsychotics helps avoid unintended outcomes among young patients. We conducted a population-based study to compare cardiometabolic risk among different antipsychotics in children, adolescents and young adults. From Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database, 2001-2013, we identified two patient cohorts aged 5-18 (children and adolescents) and 19-30 (young adults), diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and newly receiving antipsychotics, including haloperidol and sulpiride, and second generation antipsychotics (SGA, including olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, amisulpride, aripiprazole, paliperidone, and ziprasidone). Risperidone users were considered the reference group. We analyzed electronic medical records from seven hospitals in Taiwan and confirmed findings with validation analyses of identical design. Primary outcomes were composite cardiometabolic events, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and major adverse cardiovascular events. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models compared cardiometabolic risk among antipsychotics. Among 29,030 patients aged 5-18 and 50,359 patients aged 19-30 years, we found 1200 cardiometabolic event cases during the total follow-up time of 37,420 person-years with an incidence of 32.1 per 1000 person-years. Compared to risperidone, olanzapine was associated with a significantly higher risk of cardiometabolic events in young adults (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.57; 95% CIs 1.13-2.18) but not in children and adolescents (1.85; 0.79-4.32). Specifically, we found young adult patients receiving haloperidol (1.52; 1.06-2.20) or olanzapine (1.75; 1.18-2.61) had higher risk of hypertension compared with risperidone users. Results from validation analyses concurred with main analyses. Antipsychotics' various risk profiles for cardiometabolic events merit consideration when selecting appropriate regimes. Due to cardiometabolic risk, we suggest clinicians may consider to select alternative antipsychotics to olanzapine in children, adolescents and young adults.

Purpose: Previous retrospective studies reported that proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) may decrease the efficacy of first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) including gefitinib and erlotinib. Afatinib had a wider soluble pH range, with possible fewer interactions with antacids. However, clinical data were limited. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the negative impact of PPIs on afatinib. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who are newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 2014 to 2019 using the Chang Gung Research Database. We identified patients who were treated with first-line afatinib and analyzed the association between the PPI and afatinib treatment outcomes. Results: A total of 1418 patients were treated with first-line afatinib and followed up for 6 years. First-line afatinib was administered to 918 eligible patients, and 330 had afatinib with PPIs. The combination use of PPIs and afatinib significantly decreased the overall survival (OS) compared with that of patients using afatinib only (median OS: 33.2 and 25.1 months, p < 0.01) and multivariate analyses (Combination use: hazard ratio: 1.29; 1.05-1.59, p = 0.01). The percentages of patients who were able to receive 2nd line therapy also significantly decreased in afatinib with PPI cohort. Conclusion: The concurrent use of PPIs was associated with lower OS in patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer under the first-line afatinib treatment but not associated with TTF.
RESUMO
Aim: Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs)-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) among lung cancer patients have been reported in case reports and adverse events reporting system databases in the United States and Japan, but clinical data remained insufficient. This study aims to evaluate CDI in lung cancer patients receiving EGFR-TKIs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using multi-institutional electronic medical records database. We included patients aged older than 20 years diagnosed with lung cancer and treated with EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib). We defined EGFR-TKI initiation date as the index date and occurrence of diarrhea with CDI or without CDI as the event date. We followed patients from the index date until the event date, ICU admission, death, or 12/31/2019. Results: We included 2242 diarrhea patients, 51 were EGFR-TKI with CDI cohort, and 2191 were diarrhea without CDI cohort. Patients who were concurrently taking antibiotics (hazard ratio [HR], 3.30; 95% CI, 1.67-6.5) and systemic steroids (HR, 4.9; 95% CI, 2.65-9.06) had an increased risk of CDI. First-generation EGFR-TKIs tended to be associated with an increased risk of CDI compared with afatinib (HR, 1.81, 95% CI, 0.94-3.47). EGFR-TKI with CDI had a higher ICU admission rate (HR, 3.42, 95% CI, 1.98-5.91) and mortality rate (HR, 2.34, 95% CI, 1.67-3.28) than diarrhea without CDI. Conclusion: Patients with CDI had higher ICU admission rates and mortality rates than those without CDI. Concurrent use of antibiotics and systemic steroids were risk factors for CDI among patients with lung cancer receiving EGFR-TKIs. Afatinib was not associated with a higher risk of CDI than first-generation EGFR-TKIs.
