Drugs associated with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome: A pharmacovigilance study in vigiBase.

Background: Data on drug-induced reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) are scarce. We aimed to describe RCVS characteristics with drugs previously identified as associated with RCVS and investigate potential signals related to other drugs.

Methods: VigiBase was queried for all reports of RCVS until 31 May 2023.

Drug-induced hearing loss: a case/non-case study in the French pharmacovigilance database.

Hearing loss is defined as a decrease in the ability to perceive sounds which can occur suddenly or gradually and affects one ear or both. It is related to various etiologies, in particular drugs. The identification of all drugs that could be associated with hearing loss is essential for the patients' life quality.

[Illogical association nalmefene and opioids: Analysis in the French pharmacovigilance database].

Introduction: Nalmefene, an opioid antagonist, causes withdrawal syndromes in patients exposed to an opioid agonist. Despite its contraindication, this illogical drug association persists, especially with opioid substitution drugs (ODS). We measured the benefits of the modification in the summary of product characteristics (SPC) in March 2015 and the package leaflet of Selincro in September 2016 on this misuse.

Detection of adverse drug reactions: evaluation of an automatic data processing applied in oncology performed in the French Diagnosis Related Groups database.

The aim of this study was to assess an automated detection method of serious adverse reactions induced by oral targeted therapy (OTT) in patients with cancer, performed in the French Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) database. Patients with cancer of the Poitiers hospital who started an OTT between 2014 and 2015 were included. This study focused on adverse drug reaction which required inpatient hospitalization (ADR ).

Drug-induced progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: a case/noncase study in the French pharmacovigilance database.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an often fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. As effective treatment is unavailable, identification of all drugs that could be associated with PML is essential. The objective of this study was to investigate the putative association of reports of PML and drugs.

Drug-induced Depression: a Case/Non Case Study in the French Pharmacovigilance Database.

Depression is a complex disorder with heterogeneous clinical anomalies whose neurobiological understanding still remains unclear. Medications have been implicated as potential causes of depression but for many of them, data are controversial. The present study aims to investigate association bet ween drugs and reports of depression.

Are adverse drug reaction patterns different between romiplostim and eltrombopag? 2009-2013 French PharmacoVigilance assessment.

Background: Romiplostim and eltrombopag, the two marketed thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), have distinct binding sites and might have distinct pharmacodynamic mechanisms. The aim of this study was to compare their adverse drug reaction (ADR) patterns.

Methods: We selected in the French PharmacoVigilance Database all ADRs associated with TPO-RAs from TPO-RA marketing until the 31st of December 2013.

Memory disorders associated with consumption of drugs: updating through a case/noncase study in the French PharmacoVigilance Database.

Aims: To investigate putative associations of reports of memory disorders and suspected drugs.

Methods: We used the case/noncase method in the French PharmacoVigilance Database (FPVD). Cases were reports of memory loss in the FPVD between January 2000 and December 2009.

Drugs and dilated cardiomyopathies: A case/noncase study in the French PharmacoVigilance Database.

Aims: To evaluate putative associations between drugs and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Methods: We used the case/noncase method in the French PharmacoVigilance Database (FPVD). Cases were all the observations with dilated cardiomyopathy registered into the FPVD between 1 January 1990 and 30 June 2007.

[Drug-induced dementia: a case/non-case study in the French Pharmacovigilance database].

The increased incidence of dementia on the aging population makes this disease a major public health problem. Among known causes of dementia, drug etiology is under considered. We investigated the relationship between exposure to drug therapy and dementia with a case/non-case study using reports of the French Pharmacovigilance database.
