Thalidomide, used to treat erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), is associated with severe adverse events (AEs) and is highly teratogenic.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on thalidomide-treated patients with ENL. AEs and selected variables were investigated through interviews and assessment of medical records. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were estimated via logistic regression.
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were the most common AEs reported. Although women of reproductive age used contraceptives, <50% of patients reported using condoms. Polypharmacy was associated with all endpoints, except DVT.
Pharmacovigilance is crucial to prevent harmful thalidomide-associated AEs.
用于治疗麻风结节性红斑(ENL)的沙利度胺与严重不良事件(AE)相关,且具有高度致畸性。
对接受沙利度胺治疗的ENL患者进行了一项横断面研究。通过访谈和病历评估对不良事件及选定变量进行了调查。通过逻辑回归估计了具有95%置信区间的比值比。
外周神经病变症状和深静脉血栓形成(DVT)是报告的最常见不良事件。尽管育龄期女性使用了避孕药具,但报告使用避孕套的患者不足50%。联合用药与除DVT之外的所有终点相关。
药物警戒对于预防与沙利度胺相关的有害不良事件至关重要。
