Association between total dose of ritodrine hydrochloride and pulmonary oedema in twin pregnancy: a retrospective cohort study in Japan.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Pulmonary oedema is recognised as a severe side effect of ritodrine hydrochloride. Recently, the number of twin pregnancies has been increasing. Few studies have reported the association between total dose of ritodrine hydrochloride prior to delivery and pulmonary oedema in twin pregnancy. We aimed to examine this association and determine the optimal cut-off threshold of total ritodrine hydrochloride dose to predict the incidence of pulmonary oedema in twin pregnancy based on obstetric records. DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study. SETTING:Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Japan. PARTICIPANTS:Two hundred and twenty-six women with twin pregnancy who delivered at Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital between September 2009 and November 2016. METHODS:The obstetric records of the participants were analysed. We defined 1 unit of ritodrine hydrochloride as 72?mg per 24?hours continuous transfusion at 50?µg/min to calculate the dose of ritodrine used for tocolysis. OUTCOME MEASURES:Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between total dose of ritodrine hydrochloride used for threatened preterm labour and pulmonary oedema, while controlling for potential confounding factors. Then, a receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off of total ritodrine dose to predict pulmonary oedema incidence. RESULTS:Mean maternal age was 32 (range, 18-46) years; 143 participants were nulliparous (63.3%), 109 had (48.2%) term deliveries and 194 (85.8%) had caesarean deliveries. The overall incidence of pulmonary oedema was 13.7% (31/226). Multivariable analysis showed that the total dose of ritodrine was significantly associated with pulmonary oedema (adjusted OR 1.02; 95% CI 1.004 to 1.03). The best cut-off point to predict the incidence of pulmonary oedema was 26 units (1872?mg) (sensitivity, 61.3%; specificity, 87.8%). CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that consideration of the total dose of ritodrine hydrochloride is helpful in the management of patients with threatened preterm labour in twin pregnancy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ritodrine is a commonly used tocolytic to prevent preterm labour. However, it can cause unexpected serious adverse reactions, such as pulmonary oedema, pulmonary congestion, and tachycardia. It is unknown whether such adverse reactions are associated with pharmacogenomic variants in patients. METHODS:Whole-exome sequencing of 13 subjects with serious ritodrine-induced cardiac and pulmonary side-effects was performed to identify causal genes and variants. The deleterious impact of nonsynonymous substitutions for all genes was computed and compared between cases (n?=?13) and controls (n?=?30). The significant genes were annotated with Gene Ontology (GO), and the associated disease terms were categorised into four functional classes for functional enrichment tests. To assess the impact of distributed rare variants in cases with side effects, we carried out rare variant association tests with a minor allele frequency???1% using the burden test, the sequence Kernel association test (SKAT), and optimised SKAT. RESULTS:We identified 28 genes that showed significantly lower gene-wise deleteriousness scores in cases than in controls. Three of the identified genes-CYP1A1, CYP8B1, and SERPINA7-are pharmacokinetic genes. The significantly identified genes were categorized into four functional classes: ion binding, ATP binding, Ca2+-related, and ciliopathies-related. These four classes were significantly enriched with ciliary genes according to SYSCILIA Gold Standard genes (P?<?0.01), thus representing ciliary genes. Furthermore, SKAT showed a marginal trend toward significance after Bonferroni correction with Joubert Syndrome ciliopathy genes (P?=?0.05). With respect to the pharmacokinetic genes, rs1048943 (CYP1A1) and rs1804495 (SERPINA7) showed a significantly higher frequency in cases than controls, as determined by Fisher's exact test (P?<?0.05 and P?<?0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Ritodrine-induced cardiac and pulmonary side effects may be associated with deleterious genetic variants in ciliary and pharmacokinetic genes.
