Article Synopsis
- - Phenytoin (PHT) is a widely used anticonvulsant that can cause severe skin reactions, known as severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), although studies on risk factors for these reactions have shown mixed results.
- - This meta-analysis reviewed 11 studies involving 1,389 patients to establish a clearer link between PHT and SCARs, finding a significant association with a pooled odds ratio of 2.29 and a specific link to Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis with an odds ratio of 3.63.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of screening patients for risks before initiating treatment with PHT to help prevent serious skin reactions.
