Lee HT, Liao FF, Kung SS, Hwang SJ, Hsieh KP. Trends of anti-seizure medication prescribing pattern in traumatic brain injury patients for the prevention of posttraumatic seizure in Taiwan. Epilepsy Behav Rep 2024; 26:100662. [PMID: 38590545 PMCID: PMC10999794 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebr.2024.100662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients are recommended to receive anti-seizure medication (ASM) as posttraumatic seizure (PTS) prophylaxis. However, the utilization of ASM, including the prescription patterns and associated clinical characteristics, is limited in Taiwan. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the ASM trends and clinical characteristics. This retrospective cohort study enrolled TBI patients who received levetiracetam, phenytoin, and valproic acid during hospitalization using the National Health Insurance Research Database between 2012 and 2019. The primary outcome was the trend of the ASMs based on the index year. The duration of levetiracetam prescription was categorized as short-term (seven days or less) or long-term (more than seven days). Logistic regression identified the factors associated with long-term usage. A total of 64,461 TBI patients were included. Levetiracetam usage increased yearly, while phenytoin declined. Among the levetiracetam users, 5681 (30.38%) were short-term users, and 13,016 (69.62%) were long-term users. Diagnoses of contusions, intracranial hemorrhage, other intracranial injuries, receiving operations, and a history of cerebrovascular disease were significantly associated with longer duration. Conclusions This study revealed the rising trend of levetiracetam usage, indicating its potential as an alternative to phenytoin. TBI patients with more severe conditions were more likely to receive longer prescriptions.

Abstract
Objective: To develop an accurate and rapid real-time PCR technique for HLA-B*15:02 genotyping and investigate HLA-B*15:02 allele frequency in four ethnic populations in China. Materials & methods: Based on the highly specific representative markers, a real-time PCR assay was developed for HLA-B*15:02 genotyping, and HLA-B*15:02 allele frequencies were screened in four ethnic populations of China. Sequence-based typing was used to validate the accuracy of the assay. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 100%, and the detection limit was 0.2 ng. The frequency of HLA-B*15:02 alleles distributed in the Bouyei population was significantly higher than in the Han group (p < 0.01). Neither the Tibetan nor the Uyghur population carried the HLA-B*15:02 haplotype. Conclusion: The authors developed an accurate HLA-B*15:02 genotyping method for evaluating the risk of adverse drug reactions induced by carbamazepine in various ethnic populations in China.

Implementation of HLA-B*15:02 Genotyping as Standard-of-Care for Reducing Carbamazepine/Oxcarbazepine Induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions in Thailand. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:867490. [PMID: 35865943 PMCID: PMC9294359 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.867490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of HLA-B*15:02 pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing before carbamazepine (CBZ)/oxcarbazepine (OXC) prescriptions and to determine whether this PGx testing was associated with the reduction of CBZ/OXC-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) in Thailand.Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted by obtaining relevant HLA-B*15:02 PGx-testing and clinical data from electronic medical records during 2011–2020. 384 patient data were included in this study to investigate the clinical decision on CBZ/OXC usage before and after the HLA-B*15:02 PGx testing, and 1,539 patient data were included in this study to demonstrate the incidence of CBZ/OXC-induced SCARs and SJS between HLA-B*15:02 tested and non-tested patients. To analyze and summarize the results, descriptive statistics were employed, and Fisher exact test was used to compare the clinical difference between the HLA-B*15:02 positive and negative groups and to compare the differences of SCARs incidence.Results: 384 patients were included in this study as per the inclusion criteria. Of these, 70 patients carried HLA-B*15:02, of which 63 and 65 patients were not prescribed with CBZ/OXC before and after the availability of genotyping results, respectively. In the remaining HLA-B*15:02 non-carriers, 48, and 189 patients were prescribed CBZ/OXC before and after genotyping results were available, respectively. The findings of this study showed that the incidence of SCARs of CBZ/OXC was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the HLA-B*15:02 screening arm than in the non-screening arm.Conclusion:HLA-B pharmacogenetics testing influenced the selection of appropriate AEDs. The presence of mild rash in the HLA-B*15:02 negative group indicates that other genetic biomarker (HLA-A*31:01) and/or non-genetic variables are involved in CBZ/OXC-induced CADRs, emphasizing that CBZ/OXC prescriptions necessitate CADR monitoring. The hospital policy and clinical decision support (CDS) alert system is essential to overcome the barriers associated with the utilization of PGx guidelines into clinical practice.

Abstract
Aim: Phenytoin (PHT) is a common anticonvulsant agent known for inducing severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). HLA-B*15:02 as a risk factor of PHT-induced SCARs was reported in numerous studies with inconsistent results. This meta-analysis aimed to establish pooling evidence of this association. Materials & methods: Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were estimated using a random-effects model. Results: A total of 11 studies on 1389 patients, were included for the analyses. There was a significant association between HLA-B*15:02 and PHT-induced SCAR (pooled OR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.25-4.19, p = 0.008). Furthermore, there was a significant association regarding Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (OR = 3.63, 95% CI: 2.15-6.13, p < 0.001) but no association regarding drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptom. Conclusion: The results supported the recommendations of HLA-B*15:02 screening before treatment with PHT.
