| アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Data on drug-induced liver injury (DILI) caused by newer antiseizure medications (ASMs) in the elderly are scarce and mainly come from literature case reports. We analyzed Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) of DILI in elderly patients treated with newer ASMs reported to VigiBase. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Empirica Signal software was used to retrieve ICSRs reported to VigiBase up to 31 December 2021 and to calculate Empirical Bayesian Geometric Mean and corresponding 90% confidence intervals (EB05, EB95) for each drug-event pair. EB05 > 2, N > 0 was considered a signal. Analysis by age subgroups and gender was performed to assess the influence of these factors on ICSR characteristics and identified signals. RESULTS: There were 1399 ICSRs reporting 1947 events of hepatotoxicity. 56.97% of the reports were reported in females, 67.05% were serious, and 3.36% resulted in death. For one or more events of hepatotoxicity, signals were detected for lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, topiramate, and zonisamide. Age- and gender-biased reporting frequency was identified for topiramate-induced hyperammonemia, with disproportionally higher reporting frequency in >/=75-year-old male patients. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study indicate differences among newer ASMs in their potential to cause DILI in the elderly. Further studies are needed to confirm the associations identified in this study. |
