Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized by the presence of spontaneous seizures, with a higher incidence in the pediatric population. Anti-seizure medication (ASM) may produce adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with an elevated frequency and a high severity. Thus, the objective of the present study was to analyze, through intensive pharmacovigilance over 112 months, the ADRs produced by valproic acid (VPA), oxcarbazepine (OXC), phenytoin (PHT), and levetiracetam (LEV), among others, administered to monotherapy or polytherapy for Mexican hospitalized pediatric epilepsy patients. A total of 1034 patients were interviewed; 315 met the inclusion criteria, 211 patients presented ADRs, and 104 did not. A total of 548 ASM-ADRs were identified, and VPA, LEV, and PHT were the main culprit drugs. The most frequent ADRs were drowsiness, irritability, and thrombocytopenia, and the main systems affected were hematologic, nervous, and dermatologic. LEV and OXC caused more nonsevere ADRs, and PHT caused more severe ADRs. The risk analysis showed an association between belonging to the younger groups and polytherapy with ADR presence and between polytherapy and malnutrition with severe ADRs. In addition, most of the severe ADRs were preventable, and most of the nonsevere ADRs were nonpreventable.
癫痫是一种慢性神经疾病,其特征为存在自发性癫痫发作,在儿科人群中发病率较高。抗癫痫药物(ASM)可能会产生频率升高且严重程度较高的药物不良反应(ADR)。因此,本研究的目的是通过对112个月的强化药物警戒,分析丙戊酸(VPA)、奥卡西平(OXC)、苯妥英(PHT)和左乙拉西坦(LEV)等药物用于墨西哥住院儿科癫痫患者单药治疗或联合治疗时产生的ADR。总共采访了1034名患者;315名符合纳入标准,211名患者出现了ADR,104名未出现。总共识别出548例ASM-ADR,VPA、LEV和PHT是主要的致病药物。最常见的ADR是嗜睡、易怒和血小板减少,主要受影响的系统是血液学、神经学和皮肤病学。LEV和OXC引起的非严重ADR较多,PHT引起的严重ADR较多。风险分析表明,年龄较小的群体和联合治疗与ADR的存在之间以及联合治疗和营养不良与严重ADR之间存在关联。此外,大多数严重ADR是可预防的,大多数非严重ADR是不可预防的。
