[Drug exposure associated with exacerbation of symptoms in patients with myasthenia gravis].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Numerous drugs have been related to exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. So far there are no studies examining the extent of use of drugs related to exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. AIMS:We sought to assess the extent of use of drugs related to exacerbations and the annual incidence rate of exacerbations in a cohort of myasthenia gravis patients. We explored possible risk factors of severe exacerbations. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We performed a retrospective cohort study. We included adult patients followed in neurology department. We estimated frequencies, rates and built a recurrent events model. RESULTS:We included 91 patients. 94.51% of patients had at least one prescription of a drug. 51 patients had at least one prescription of a drug contraindicated according to its drug label. 145 exacerbation episodes were reported in 50 patients. The annual incidence rate of exacerbation episodes was 0.35. 48 exacerbations were severe (in 18 patients). The annual incidence rate of severe exacerbation episodes was 0.12. Generalized myasthenia gravis and thymectomy were associated with a higher risk of severe exacerbation episodes. CONCLUSIONS:Our patients were extensive and widespread exposed to drugs during the follow-up period but we did not find and association with severe exacerbation episodes. Just over half of the patients had at least one exacerbation episode during the study period, most of them were mild. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to corroborate these conclusions and to study possible correlations between the use of drugs and the risk of exacerbation episodes. TITLE:Exposición a fármacos asociados a agravamiento de síntomas en pacientes con miastenia grave. :Introducción. Numerosos fármacos se han relacionado con el agravamiento de síntomas en pacientes con miastenia grave, pero hasta la fecha no existen estudios sobre la exposición a fármacos en estos pacientes. Objetivos. Describir el consumo de fármacos y calcular la tasa anual de episodios de exacerbación en una cohorte de pacientes con miastenia grave, y explorar posibles factores de riesgo de exacerbaciones graves. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio observacional longitudinal retrospectivo que incluye a pacientes adultos con miastenia grave seguidos en consulta. Cálculo de frecuencias, tasas y construcción de modelo de eventos repetidos. Resultados. De 91 pacientes incluidos, el 94,51% estuvo expuesto al menos a un fármaco durante el período de estudio (siete años y un mes). De ellos, 51 tuvieron al menos una prescripción de un fármaco contraindicado en la ficha técnica (56,04%). Se contabilizaron 145 exacerbaciones en 50 pacientes. La tasa anual de incidencia fue de 0,35 exacerbaciones por paciente y año. De estas exacerbaciones, 48 fueron graves (en 18 pacientes), con una tasa anual de incidencia de 0,12. Se halló una posible asociación entre diagnóstico de miastenia grave generalizada y timectomía, con un aumento del riesgo de episodios de exacerbación graves. Conclusiones. En esta cohorte se encontró una amplia exposición a fármacos, pero no asociación con el riesgo de episodios de exacerbación graves. Algo más de la mitad de pacientes tuvo al menos un episodio de exacerbación durante el período de estudio, la mayoría leves. Son necesarios estudios que corroboren estas conclusiones y puedan estudiar posibles correlaciones entre fármacos y el riesgo de episodios de exacerbación.
