What Is Known And Objectives: As for adverse events (AEs) caused by everolimus, findings from clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance have reported interstitial lung disease, hyperglycaemia, cardiovascular disease, etc. However, these reports are limited to incidence, and detailed studies on the risk of occurrence, time to onset and post-event clinical outcomes are only related to hyperglycaemia. The purpose of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of adverse events during everolimus therapy in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using the Japanese Adverse Event Report database.

Methods: Data reported between April 2004 and June 2021 in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database were extracted for use. The reported odds ratio, time to onset and post-event course were analysed for the top 30 adverse events reported.

Results And Discussion: Among the top 30 adverse events, 23 adverse event signals were detected and classified into seven categories: lung-related AEs, haematological-related AEs, cancer progression, blood glucose-related AEs, hepatic-related AEs, renal-related AEs and others. The lung-related adverse events category was the most common, and the proportion of fatal outcomes after the occurrence of two adverse events related to infectious pneumonia was more than 10%.

What Is New And Conclusion: A comprehensive survey of adverse events associated with everolimus administration using the pharmacovigilance database revealed that pulmonary and haematological AEs are frequently reported. The results suggest that attention should be paid to the occurrence of lung disorders because they may lead to fatal outcomes.

Violence experience, interpersonal and community-level, is commonly reported by people living with HIV (PLWH). Understanding the impact of the various forms of violence on HIV outcomes is critical for prioritizing violence screening and support resources in care settings. From February 2021 to December 2022, among 285 PLWH purposively sampled to attain diversity by gender, race/ethnicity, and HIV care retention status in Atlanta, Georgia, we examined interpersonal and community violence experiences and proxy measures of violence (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression) and their associations with HIV outcomes (engagement and retention in care and HIV viral suppression) using multivariable analysis.

Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in several cancers but can also induce various organ system toxicities, including musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the musculoskeletal adverse events (MSAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors based on real-world data.

Methods: Reports of MSAEs linked to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter (Q1) of 2015 and 2023 Q4 were extracted from the FAERS.

Background: Initiation of buprenorphine for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) in acute care settings improves access and outcomes, however patients who use methamphetamine are less likely to link to ongoing treatment. We describe the intervention and design from a pilot randomized controlled trial of an intervention to increase linkage to and retention in outpatient buprenorphine services for patients with OUD and methamphetamine use who initiate buprenorphine in the hospital.

Methods: The study is a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (N = 40) comparing the mHealth Incentivized Adherence Plus Patient Navigation (MIAPP) intervention to treatment as usual.

Circumstantial risk factors for death after intensive care unit-to-unit inter-hospital transfer-a Swedish registry study.

Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med

Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, 715 85, Uppsala, Sweden.

Background: Unit-to-unit transfer of critically ill patients infers hazards that may cause adverse events. Circumstantial factors associated with mortality after intensive care include days in the ICU, night-time or weekend discharge and capacity transfer as compared to other reasons for transfer. Distance travelled may also constitute an indirect risk.
