アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Febuxostat and allopurinol are the most commonly used uric acid-lowering medications, and their safety is of great concern, especially the cardiovascular adverse reactions associated with febuxostat. We propose to study the cardiovascular toxicity of febuxostat and allopurinol using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS: A total of 64 quarters of FAERS data were downloaded from 2004 to 2019. Febuxostat- and allopurinol-related cardiovascular adverse events were extracted after data cleaning. Signal detection was conducted by reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR). RESULTS: There were 2939 and 25,219 reports of febuxostat- and allopurinol-related cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs), respectively. The most frequent CVAEs with febuxostat and allopurinol were edema peripheral (14.38%) and peripheral swelling (8.76%), respectively. In elderly gout patients, febuxostat is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy. Febuxostat in combination with acetic acid derivatives nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) also increases the risk of cardiovascular adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with allopurinol, febuxostat may increase cardiovascular toxicity in patients with gout. |
