Project description:ImportanceConcern about the renal effects of nonsteroidand al anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) among young, healthy adults has been limited, but more attention may be warranted given the prevalent use of these agents.ObjectiveTo test for associations between dispensed NSAIDs and incident acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease while controlling for other risk factors.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective, longitudinal cohort study used deidentified medical and administrative data on 764?228 active-duty US Army soldiers serving between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2014. Analysis was conducted from August 1 to November 30, 2018. All individuals new to Army service were included in the analysis. Persons already serving in January 2011 were required to have at least 7 months of observable time to eliminate those with kidney disease histories.ExposuresMean total defined daily doses of prescribed NSAIDs dispensed per month in the prior 6 months.Main outcomes and measuresIncident outcomes were defined by diagnoses documented in health records and a military-specific digital system.ResultsAmong the 764?228 participants (655 392 [85.8%] men; mean [SD] age, 28.6 [7.9] years; median age, 27.0 years [interquartile range, 22.0-33.0 years]), 502?527 (65.8%) were not dispensed prescription NSAIDs in the prior 6 months, 137 108 (17.9%) were dispensed 1 to 7 mean total defined daily doses per month, and 124?594 (16.3%) received more than 7 defined daily doses per month. There were 2356 acute kidney injury outcomes (0.3% of participants) and 1634 chronic kidney disease outcomes (0.2%) observed. Compared with participants who received no medication, the highest exposure level was associated with significantly higher adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for acute kidney injury (aHR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4) and chronic kidney disease (aHR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.3), with annual outcome excesses per 100?000 exposed individuals totaling 17.6 cases for acute kidney injury and 30.0 cases for chronic kidney disease.Conclusions and relevanceModest but statistically significant associations were noted between the highest observed doses of NSAID exposure and incident kidney problems among active young and middle-aged adults.

Project description:BackgroundNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to reduce chronic inflammation and risk of many cancers, but their effect on risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death due to chronic liver disease (CLD) has not been investigated.MethodsWe analyzed prospective data on 300504 men and women aged 50 to 71 years in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study cohort and linked self-reported aspirin and nonaspirin NSAID use with registry-confirmed diagnoses of HCC (n=250) and death due to CLD (n=428, excluding HCC). We calculated hazard rate ratios (RRs) and their two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox proportional hazard regression models with adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, and body mass index. All tests of statistical significance were two-sided.ResultsAspirin users had statistically significant reduced risks of incidence of HCC (RR = 0.59; 95% CI = 0.45 to 0.77) and mortality due to CLD (RR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.45 to 0.67) compared to those who did not use aspirin. In contrast, users of nonaspirin NSAIDs had a reduced risk of mortality due to CLD (RR = 0.74; 95% CI= 0.61 to 0.90) but did not have lower risk of incidence of HCC (RR = 1.08; 95% CI = 0.84 to 1.39) compared to those who did not use nonaspirin NSAIDs. The risk estimates did not vary in statistical significance by frequency (monthly, weekly, daily) of aspirin use, but the reduced risk of mortality due to CLD was statistically significant only among monthly users of nonaspirin NSAIDs compared to non-users.ConclusionsAspirin use was associated with reduced risk of developing HCC and of death due to CLD whereas nonaspirin NSAID use was only associated with reduced risk of death due to CLD.

Project description:BackgroundLipid transfer protein (LTP), an abundant protein in fruits, vegetables, and nuts, is a common food allergen in Mediterranean areas causing diverse allergic reactions. Approximately 40% of food-related anaphylaxis induced by LTPs requires nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a triggering cofactor.ObjectiveWe sought to better understand the determinants of NSAID-dependent and NSAID-independent LTP-induced anaphylaxis (LTP-A).MethodsSelection of patients was based on a proved clinical history of NSAID-dependent or NSAID-independent anaphylaxis to LTPs, positive skin prick test response to LTPs, and serum LTP IgE. Whole-transcriptome (RNA sequencing) analysis of blood cells from 14 patients with NSAID-related LTP-A (NSAID-LTP-A), 7 patients with LTP-A, and 13 healthy control subjects was performed to identify distinct gene expression signatures.ResultsExpression of genes regulating gastrointestinal epithelial renewal was altered in both patient sets, particularly in those with LTP-A, who also presented with gene expression profiles characteristic of an inflammatory syndrome. These included altered B-cell pathways, increased neutrophil activation markers, and increased reactive oxygen species levels. Increased expression of the IgG receptor (CD64) in patients with LTP-A was mirrored by the presence of LTP-specific IgG1 and IgG3. Conversely, patients with NSAID-LTP-A were characterized by reduced expression of IFN-γ-regulated genes and IFN-γ levels, as well as upregulated expression of adenosine receptor 3 (ADORA3) and genes related to adenosine metabolism.ConclusionsGene ontology analysis suggests disturbances in gut epithelial homeostasis in both groups with LTP-A, with potential integrity breaches in patients with LTP-A that might explain their distinct inflammatory signatures. Differential regulation in patients with LTP-A and those with NSAID-LTP-A of the IFN-γ pathway, IgG receptors, and ADORA3 might provide the pathogenic basis of their distinct responses.

Project description:IntroductionLimited studies have evaluated risk of stroke associated with the use of NSAIDs in patients with end-stage kidney disease. We examined the adverse effects of selective and nonselective NSAID use on the risk of stroke in dialysis patients.MethodsA case-crossover study was conducted using medical claims data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We identified patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (defined as International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, Clinical Modification codes 433, 434, and 436 for ischemic stroke and 430 and 431 for hemorrhagic stroke) from inpatient claims during the period from 2003 to 2012. Conditional logistic regression models with adjustment for potential confounders were used to determine the effects of NSAID use on stroke.ResultsA total of 1190 dialysis patients with stroke were identified from 2003 to 2012. The results indicate a 1.31-fold increased risk of stroke related to NSAID use during the 30 days prior to a stroke (AOR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.03-1.66); likewise, an excessive risk of ischemic stroke was observed (AOR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.02-1.77). When classifying NSAIDs into selective and nonselective groups, nonselective NSAID use was significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke (AOR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.00-1.61).DiscussionIn summary, the results show supportive evidence that NSAID use increased the risk of stroke in dialysis patients, which suggests the importance of closely monitoring the transient effects of initial NSAID treatment to patients on dialysis.

Project description:Little is known about the causes of adult leukemia. A few small studies have reported a reduced risk associated with regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).In a population-based case-control study, we evaluated analgesic use among 670 newly diagnosed myeloid leukemia cases [including 420 acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and 186 chronic myeloid leukemias (CML)] and 701 controls aged 20 to 79 years. Prior use of aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, other NSAIDs, and COX-2 inhibitors was assessed and included frequency, duration, and quantity. ORs and 95% CIs were calculated using unconditional logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders.Regular/extra strength aspirin use was inversely associated with myeloid leukemia in women (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.37-0.93) but not in men (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.58-1.24). In contrast, acetaminophen use was associated with an increased risk of myeloid leukemia in women only (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.04-2.47). These relationships were stronger with increasing dose and duration. When stratified by leukemia type, aspirin use was inversely associated with AML and CML in women. No significant overall associations were found with ibuprofen or COX-2 inhibitors for either sex; however, a decreased risk was observed with other anti-inflammatory analgesic use for women with AML or CML (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.22-0.99; OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.10-0.92, respectively).Our results provide additional support for the chemopreventive benefits of NSAIDs, at least in women. Because leukemia ranks fifth in person-years of life lost due to malignancy, further investigation is warranted.NSAIDs may reduce, whereas acetaminophen may increase, myeloid leukemia risk in women.

Project description:Background Findings of both case control and in vitro investigations suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may play a beneficial role in the occurrence, growth, and subsistence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumor in humans. Objective In the present retrospective cohort study, we assessed the impact of NSAID use on survival in patients diagnosed with and treated for GBM brain tumors. Methods The impact of NSAID use and six other potential prognostic indicators of survival were assessed in 71 patients treated for GBM brain tumors from February 2011 to June 2016. Survival analysis and cross-tabulation analyses were performed to examine the potential relationship between NSAID use and occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage over the course of treatment for GBM. Results Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed no significant difference in survival between patients with and without NSAID use (p = 0.75; 95% CI: 10.12, 18.13). Multiple Cox regression analysis identified only treatment with chemotherapy as imposing any statistically significant effect on survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 3.31; p < 0.001; 95% CI: 1.80, 6.07). Cross-tabulation revealed no significant effect of NSAID use on occurrence of hemorrhage during treatment, X2 (2, N = 71) = 0.65, p2-Sided = 0.42, (Fisher's Exact Test: p2-sided = 0.56, p1-sided = 0.31). Conclusion These results suggest that history of NSAID use is not a determinant of survival in GBM patients. More rigorous, prospective investigations of the effect of NSAID use on tumor progression are necessary before the utility of this family of drugs in the treatment of GBM can be adequately appraised.

Project description:ObjectivesRegular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with a reduced risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Epidemiological studies examining the association between NSAID use and the risk of the precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus, have been inconclusive.MethodsWe analyzed pooled individual-level participant data from six case-control studies of Barrett's esophagus in the Barrett's and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON). We compared medication use from 1,474 patients with Barrett's esophagus separately with two control groups: 2,256 population-based controls and 2,018 gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) controls. Study-specific odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models and were combined using a random-effects meta-analytic model.ResultsRegular (at least once weekly) use of any NSAIDs was not associated with the risk of Barrett's esophagus (vs. population-based controls, adjusted OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.76-1.32, I2=61%; vs. GERD controls, adjusted OR=0.99, 95% CI=0.82-1.19, I2=19%). Similar null findings were observed among individuals who took aspirin or non-aspirin NSAIDs. We also found no association with highest levels of frequency (at least daily use) and duration (≥5 years) of NSAID use. There was evidence of moderate between-study heterogeneity; however, associations with NSAID use remained non-significant in "leave-one-out" sensitivity analyses.ConclusionsUse of NSAIDs was not associated with the risk of Barrett's esophagus. The previously reported inverse association between NSAID use and esophageal adenocarcinoma may be through reducing the risk of neoplastic progression in patients with Barrett's esophagus.

Project description:Nonsteroidal anti-inf lammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, but their use is frequently related to hypersensitivity reactions. This review outlines our current knowledge of NSAID hypersensitivity (NHS) with regard to its pathogenic, molecular, and genetic mechanisms, as well as diagnosis and treatment. The presentation of NHS varies from a local (skin and/or airways) reaction to systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis. At the molecular level, NHS reactions can be classified as cross-reactive (mediated by cyclooxygenase inhibition) or selective (specific activation of immunoglobulin E antibodies or T cells). Genetic polymorphisms and epigenetic factors have been shown to be closely associated with NHS, and may be useful as predictive markers. To diagnose NHS, inhalation or oral challenge tests are applied, with the exclusion of any cross-reactive NSAIDs. For patients diagnosed with NHS, absolute avoidance of NSAIDs/aspirin is essential, and pharmacological treatment, including biologics, is often used to control their respiratory and cutaneous symptoms. Finally, desensitization is recommended only for selected patients with NHS. However, further research is required to develop new diagnostic methods and more effective treatments against NHS.

Project description:ImportanceDuring the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, case reports have suggested that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may lead to adverse outcomes.ObjectiveTo study the association of NSAID use with adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized with influenza or influenza pneumonia.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study used propensity score matching among 7747 individuals aged 40 years or older who were hospitalized with influenza, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction or antigen testing, between 2010 and 2018. Data were collected using Danish nationwide registers. All analyses reported were performed on May 29, 2020.ExposuresPrescription fill of an NSAID within 60 days before admission.Main outcomes and measuresRisk ratio (RR) and risk difference (RD) with 95% CIs for intensive care unit admission and death within 30 days of admission.ResultsA total of 7747 patients (median [interquartile range] age, 71 [59-80] years, 3980 [51.4%] men) with confirmed influenza were identified. Of these, 520 (6.7%) were exposed to NSAIDs. In the unmatched cohorts, 104 of 520 patients (20.0%) who used NSAIDs and 958 of 7227 patients (13.3%) who did not use NSAIDs were admitted to the intensive care unit. For death within 30 days of admission, we observed 37 events (7.1%) among those who used NSAIDs compared with 563 events (7.8%) among those who did not. Current NSAID use was associated with intensive care unit admission (RR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.26 to 1.81; RD, 6.7%; 95% CI, 3.2% to 10.3%), while NSAID use was not associated with death (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.26; RD, -0.7%; 95% CI, -3.0% to 1.6%). In the matched cohorts, risks were unchanged for patients who used NSAIDs, while 83 ICU admissions (16.0%) and 36 deaths (6.9%) were observed among matched individuals who did not use NSAIDs. Matched (ie, adjusted) analyses yielded attenuated risk estimates for intensive care unit admission (RR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.63; RD, 4.0%; 95% CI, -0.6% to 8.7%) and death (RR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.60; RD, 0.2%; 95% CI, -2.9% to 3.3%). Associations were more pronounced among patients who used NSAIDs for a longer period (eg, for intensive care unit admission: RR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.19 to 3.06; RD, 13.4%; 95% CI, 4.0% to 22.8%).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of adult patients hospitalized with influenza, the use of NSAIDs was not associated with 30-day intensive care unit admission or death in adjusted analyses. There was an association between long-term use of NSAIDs and intensive care unit admission.

Project description:Experimental studies have shown a protective effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on breast cancer development. However, results from epidemiological cohort studies are less consistent. Our objective was to assess the association between NSAID use and breast cancer risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). EPIC is a prospective cohort study initiated in 1992 in 10 European countries. Self-reported information on NSAID use at baseline has been collected in five EPIC countries. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios for the association of NSAID use with breast cancer incidence with adjustment for potential confounders. We also assessed effect modification by breast cancer risk factors and examined the associations within specific breast cancer subtypes. Among the 140,981 women included in the analysis, 7% were regularly using NSAIDs at baseline. During a median follow-up time period of 13 years, 7,379 incident breast cancer cases were diagnosed (816 in situ and 6,563 invasive). There were no statistically significant associations between NSAID use and breast cancer risk, overall and by subtypes. However, a statistically significant interaction was observed for invasive cases between NSAID use and ever use of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) among postmenopausal women [MHT users: HRNSAID use = 0.84 (0.73-0.96); non MHT users: HRNSAID use = 1.08 (0.93-1.25); pinteraction = 0.05]. Our results indicate potential effect modification of MHT use on the association between use of NSAIDs and breast cancer risk which deserves in-depth investigation in studies with accurate data on both NSAID and MHT use.
