| アブストラクト | AIM: Atropinic drugs in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) can decrease the effects of anticholinesterase drugs and/or induce adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Several atropinic risk scales defining an atropinic burden of drugs were proposed but were little used in AD patients. METHODS: All ADRs' notifications of AD patients registered in the Midi-Pyrenees PharmacoVigilance Database between 1999 and 2013 were analyzed using Anticholinergic Drug Scale (ADS) and Anticholinergic Duran's list. The primary objective was to quantify atropinic burden in AD patients and the secondary one to investigate associated factors. RESULTS: Among the 475 notifications, at least one atropinic drug was found in 282 notifications (59.4%) according to ADS and 214 (45.1%) according to Duran. Mean number of atropinics per notifications was 0.9 +/- 0.9 (ADS) and 0.7 +/- 0.9 (Duran). Mean atropinic burden per notifications was 1.2 +/- 1.5 (ADS) and 0.9 +/- 1.3 (Duran). Atropinic burden >/= 3 was found in 87 notifications (18.2%) according to ADS and 50 (10.5%) according to Duran. There was no association between atropinic burden and age of patients. The number of drugs is associated to a high atropinic burden. CONCLUSION: The present work found an association between an atropinic drug and an anticholinesterase agent in around 1 out of 2 AD patients and a clinically significant atropinic burden (>/= 3) in around 1 to 2 AD patients out of 10. The benefit harm balance of atropinic drugs must be discussed before each prescription in AD patients. |
