Aim: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have shown noninferiority to warfarin for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and a more promising safety profile. Unanswered safety aspects remain to be addressed and available evidence on the risk associated with these drugs are conflicting. In order to contribute to the debate on their safety profile, we conducted a comparative analysis of the reports of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with DOACs in VigiBase. Methods: Study based on reports of suspected ADRs held in VigiBase as at December 2014, in which a DOAC or warfarin were administered in patients with nonvalvular AF and listed as suspected/interacting drugs. Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities was used to classify ADRs. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) with 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results with P â¤Â 0.05 were statistically significant. Results: We retrieved 32 972 reports. We identified 204 ADRs with a ROR >1 (P â¤Â 0.05) and we focused on 105 reactions. Positive ROR emerged for DOACs and gastrointestinal haemorrhage compared with warfarin [(1.6 (1.47â1.75)], but no disproportionality with cerebral haemorrhage was found [0.31 (0.28â0.34)]. We identified other potential signals that have not been associated with DOACs previously. Conclusions: As well as premarketing authorization clinical trial studies, we found a reduced risk of intracranial haemorrhage, but an increased risk of gastrointestinal haemorrhage in patients treated with DOACs compared to warfarin. We provide new data and we highlight several differences between the three novel oral anticoagulants, in the rate and type of ADRs occurred.

- Abstract
INTRODUZIONE Il consumo eccessivo e talvolta inappropriato di farmaci antibiotici rappresenta una delle principali cause di sviluppo di resistenza batterica; ciò accade principalmente nella popolazione pediatrica. Numerosi studi riportano differenze tra i Paesi del Nord e Sud Europa in ambito di terapia antibiotica. Scopo del progetto di ricerca è confrontare le modalità prescrittive di farmaci antibiotici nei bambini di età compresa fra 0 e 5 anni, in Emilia Romagna e in Norvegia. METODI I dati sono stati ottenuti dalla bancadati regionale dell’Assistenza Farmaceutica Territoriale (AFT) per l’Emilia Romagna e dal Norwegian Prescription Database (NORPD) per la Norvegia. E’ stata condotta un’analisi descrittiva dei dati italiani in cinque differenti gruppi di età: 0-12 mesi, 13-24 mesi, 25-36 mesi, 37-48 mesi e 49-60 mesi. I risultati sono stati quindi messi a confronto con i dati norvegesi. RISULTATI In Emilia Romagna si osserva un uso maggiore di antibiotici (prevalenza variabile dal 68% al 59% nel periodo in studio), mentre in Norvegia il 29% circa dei bambini ha ricevuto almeno una prescrizione di antibiotici. In tutti i gruppi di età, i bambini italiani hanno ricevuto un numero di prescrizioni per anno maggiore rispetto a quelli norvegesi. Importanti differenze emergono anche in relazione alla tipologia di farmaci prescritti: amoxicillina, da sola e in combinazione ad acido clavulanico sono i principi attivi più prescritti in Emilia Romagna contro la fenossimetilpenicillina in Norvegia. CONCLUSIONI I risultati dello studio mostrano differenze nell’utilizzo di terapie antibiotiche nei bambini in Emilia Romagna e Norvegia. In particolare, è emerso un utilizzo eccessivo di antibiotici nella popolazione pediatrica italiana considerata e un approccio terapeutico spesso non coerente con quanto riportato dalle linee guida e dalle raccomandazioni nazionali e internazionali. Il confronto con una realtà più virtuosa pone le basi per una riflessione sulle strategie di migl, INTRODUCTION Population level exposure to antibiotics is associated with antibiotic resistance, and frequent antibiotic prescribing to children is accepted as an indicator for sub-optimal prescribing to outpatients. There are a number of European studies investigating antibiotic prescribing to children and adolescents that report large variations between countries in choice of therapy and periodic prevalence of prescribing. Aim of this study is to analyse and compare the pattern of antibiotic prescription and use in children 0-5 years in Norway and in Italy (Emilia-Romagna Region). METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted; data on antibiotic prescribing were obtained from the Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD) and from Emilia-Romagna Health Authority Database (AFT). All outpatients between 0 and 5 years, with a dispensed prescription on antibiotics (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical, ATC code J01) were included and a descriptive analysis was made to compare patients, prescriptions of antibiotics and prescribers characteristics among the following 5 age groups: 0-12 months, 13-24 months, 25-36 months, 37-48 months, 49-60 months. RESULTS In Emilia Romagna a greater use of antibiotics was registered (prevalence ranging from 68% to 59% in the study period), while in Norway about 29% of children received at least one prescription of antibiotics. Important differences also emerged in relation to the type of drugs prescribed: amoxicillin, alone and in combination with clavulanic acid, was the most used in Emilia Romagna against phenoxymethylpenicillin in Norway. CONCLUSION The results of the study showed differences in the use of antibiotic therapies in children in Emilia Romagna and Norway. In particular, excessive use of antibiotics has emerged in the Italian pediatric population; this therapeutic approach was often not consistent with national and international guidelines and recommendations. The comparison with a more virtuous reality leads to a ref

Aims: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is 1 of the most common sexually transmitted infection responsible for different types of cancer: cervical, penile, vulvar, anal and oropharyngeal. It can affect both males and females. Our aim was to enrich the knowledge on the safety profiles of HPV vaccines in the male population. Methods: We reviewed all the reports of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) present in the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System from 1 January 2006 to 30 September 2018. Statistical data mining was performed using the reporting odds ratio with 95% confidence interval in order to detect disproportionality in reporting. Results: A total of 5493 reports of AEFI were retrieved. The events most reported and that proportionally occurred more frequently with HPV vaccines than with others in males were: syncope (n = 701, reporting odds ratio = 2.85, 95% confidence interval [1.41–5.76p), loss of consciousness (n = 425, 2.79 [1.36–5.72]) and fall (n = 272, 3.54 [2.00–6.26]). Conclusion: Most of the AEFIs were already reported in premarketing clinical trials and acknowledged for the corresponding vaccines. A disproportionate reporting was found for some of these events including syncope. The HPV vaccines are generally well tolerated in males, although limitations own of spontaneous reporting should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Data on the effect of oral bisphosphonates (BPs) on risk of upper gastrointestinal complications (UGIC) are conflicting. We conducted a large population-based study from a network of Italian healthcare utilization databases aimed to assess the UGIC risk associated with use of BPs in the setting of secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures. Methods A nested case–control study was carried out within a cohort of 68,970 patients aged 45 years or older, who have been hospitalized for osteoporotic fracture from 2003 until 2005. Cases were the 804 patients who experienced hospitalization for UGIC until 2007. Up to 20 controls were randomly selected for each case. Conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratio (OR) associated with current and past use of BPs (i.e. for drug dispensation within 30 days and over 31 days prior the outcome onset, respectively) after adjusting for several covariates. Results Compared with patients who did not use BPs, current and past users had OR (and 95% confidence interval) of 0.86 (0.60 to 1.22) and 1.07 (0.80 to 1.44) respectively. There was no difference in the ORs estimated according with BPs type (alendronate or risedronate) and regimen (daily or weekly), nor with co-therapies and comorbidities. Conclusions Further evidence that BPs dispensed for secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures are not associated with increased risk of severe gastrointestinal complications is supplied from this study. Further research is required to clarify the role BPs and other drugs of co-medication in inducing UGIC.

- Abstract
Obiettivo Analisi di consumi e costi degli antibiotici sistemici negli ospedali dell’Emilia-Romagna dal 2004 al 2011, con attenzione alla variabilità interaziendale e al significato, in termini di resistenza batterica, dell’aumento di alcuni gruppi terapeutici; Sottoanalisi nei reparti pediatrici, individuando i gruppi terapeutici critici, e valutazione delle reazioni avverse pediatriche da antibiotici segnalate, per il periodo in esame. Metodi I dati di consumo e spesa degli antibiotici sistemici per il periodo 2004-2011 sono stati ottenuti dal database regionale AFO e le giornate di degenza per ogni reparto dal database regionale di dimissione ospedaliera SDO. Le segnalazioni di sospette reazioni avverse da antibiotici tra gennaio 2004 e dicembre 2011 sono state estratte dal database nazionale VigiSegn. Risultati Negli otto anni, il consumo di antibiotici negli ospedali dell’Emilia-Romagna è aumentato del 27% e la spesa del 3%. Il consumo è apparso nettamente superiore nei reparti chirurgici che medici. La prima classe per consumo e spesa sono le penicilline/inibitori delle beta lattamasi. Nei reparti pediatrici, sono stati utilizzati 65 principi attivi diversi e amoxicillina/acido clavulanico è stato il più usato (26% del totale del 2011). Tra gli antibiotici critici, le cefalosporine di terza generazione sono state le più consumate in tutti i reparti pediatrici nel 2011. Tra le molecole il cui uso ospedaliero è vincolato, spiccano il linezolid e la teicoplanina che, comunque, hanno inciso più di tutte nella spesa del 2011 (18% e 15%, rispettivamente). Per la farmacovigilanza, i bambini (3-13 anni) sono stati coinvolti in 23 casi, mentre gli infanti (≤2 anni) solo in 4. L’associazione amoxicillina/acido clavulanico è stata più frequentemente segnalata (n=7), e soltanto 2 casi erano gravi. Conclusioni I risultati mostrano un quadro critico sul massiccio uso delle cefalosporine di terza generazione e sull’incremento del linezolid, da approfondire se per inappropria, Aim To assess antibiotic consumption and expenditure in all hospitals of Emilia-Romagna from 2004 to 2011, highlighting on variability and meaning, in terms of bacterial resistance, of the rise in some therapeutic groups; To analyze antibiotic use among the pediatric wards, identifying the critical therapeutic groups, and evaluation of antibiotic-associated adverse reactions in pediatric inpatients, in the period considered. Methods Consumption and expenditure data of antibacterial for systemic use in the period 2004-2011 were obtained from the regional database (AFO) and the number of bed-days was available for the single wards from the regional hospital discharge database (SDO). Adverse reaction reports associated to antibiotics and recorded between January 2004 and December 2011 have been extracted from the national database VigiSegn. Results In the eight years analyzed, the overall antibiotic consumption increased by 27% and expenditure by 3% in all hospitals of Emilia-Romagna. Antibiotic consumption appeared markedly higher in the wards of surgical wards than medical ones. Penicillins/beta-lactamase inhibitors ranked first in consumption and expenditure. Sixty-five different antibiotics were used among the pediatric wards and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was the most used (26% of the total in 2011). Among the critical antibiotics identified, the third-generation cephalosporins were the most used in all pediatric wards in 2011. Among the antibiotics with a defined limited use, the data highlighted that linezolid and teicoplanin affected most of all expenditure in 2011 (18% and 15%, respectively). About pharmacovigilance data, children (3-13 years) were involved in 23 cases, whereas infants (≤2 years) just in 4. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was the antibiotic most frequently reported (n = 7), and 2 cases of them were serious. Conclusions Results show a critical picture on the marked use of third-generation cephalosporins and on increase of linezolid consumption, be

Aim Drug-induced liver injury is one of the most serious adverse drug reactions and the most frequent reason for restriction of indications or withdrawal of drugs. Some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were withdrawn from the market because of serious hepatotoxicity. We estimated the risk of acute and serious liver injury associated with the use of nimesulide and other NSAIDs, with a prevalence of use greater than or equal to 5%. Methods This is a multicentre case-control study carried out in nine Italian hospitals from October 2010 to January 2014. Cases were adults, with a diagnosis of acute liver injury. Controls presented acute clinical disorders not related to chronic conditions, not involving the liver. Adjusted odds ratio (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated initially with a bivariate and then multivariate analysis. Results We included 179 cases matched to 1770 controls. Adjusted OR for acute serious liver injury associated with all NSAIDs was 1.69, 95% CI 1.21-2.37. Thirty cases were exposed to nimesulide (adjusted OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.28-3.47); the risk increased according to the length of exposure (OR > 30 days: 12.55, 95% CI 1.73-90.88) and to higher doses (OR 10.69, 95% CI 4.02-28.44). Risk of hepatotoxicity was increased also for ibuprofen, used both at recommended dosages (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.13-3.26) and at higher doses (OR 3.73, 95% CI 1.11-12.46) and for ketoprofen ≥ 150 mg (OR 4.65, 95% CI 1.33-10.00). Conclusion Among all NSAIDs, nimesulide is associated with the higher risk, ibuprofen and high doses of ketoprofen are also associated with a modestly increased risk of hepatotoxicity.

Background: Oral bisphosphonates (BPs) are the primary agents for the treatment of osteoporosis. Although BPs are generally well tolerated, serious gastrointestinal adverse events have been observed. Aim: To assess the risk of severe upper gastrointestinal complications (UGIC) among BP users by means of a large study based on a network of Italian healthcare utilization databases. Methods: A nested case-control study was carried out by including 110,220 patients aged 45 years or older who, from 2003 until 2005, were treated with oral BPs. Cases were the 862 patients who experienced the outcome (hospitalization for UGIC) until 2007. Up to 20 controls were randomly selected for each case. Conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratio (OR) associated with current use of BPs after adjusting for several covariates. A set of sensitivity analyses was performed in order to account for sources of systematic uncertainty. Results: The adjusted OR for current use of BPs with respect to past use was 0.94 (95% CI 0.81 to 1.08). There was no evidence that this risk changed either with BP type and regimen, or concurrent use of other drugs or previous hospitalizations. Conclusions: No evidence was found that current use of BPs increases the risk of severe upper gastrointestinal complications compared to past use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
