アブストラクト | PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the Pharmacovigilance (PV) and severity of hypersensitivity reactions induced by non-ionic Iodinated Contrast Media (ICM) in the radiology diagnosis reported to the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the reports of ICM-induced hypersensitivity reactions submitted to the FAERS database between January 2015 and January 2023 and conducted a disproportionality analysis. The seven most common non-ionic ICM, including iohexol, iopamidol, ioversol, iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol, and iodixanol, were chiefly analyzed. Our primary endpoint was the PV of non-ionic ICM-induced total hypersensitivity events. STATA 17.0 MP was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In total, 35357 reports of adverse reaction events in radiology diagnosis were retrieved from the FAERS database. Among them, 6181 reports were on hypersensitivity reaction events (mean age: 57.1 +/- 17.8 years). The hypersensitivity reaction-related PV signal was detected for iohexol, ioversol, iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol, and iodixanol, but not for iopamidol. The proportion of iomeprol-induced hypersensitivity reactions and the probability of ioversol-induced severe hypersensitivity reactions have been found to be significantly increased. CONCLUSION: The probability and severity of hypersensitivity reaction events in non-ionic ICM are different. Iohexol, ioversol, iopromide, iomeprol, iobitridol, and iodixanol have higher risks compared to iopamidol. In addition, the constituent ratio of hypersensitivity reactions induced by iomeprol is significantly increased, and the associated probability induced by ioversol is significantly increased. |
