Summary – Purpose. In order to clarify the occurrence of hypomagnesemia in Japan, we conducted a database search and analysis using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER). Methods. Among the cases recorded in JADER between April 2004 and December 2015, we targeted “hypomagnesemia” and analyzed the patients’ backgrounds, drug involvement, other adverse events reported with hypomagnesemia, the time of hypomagnesemia onset, outcomes, and year when reported. For drugs with three or more reports, the signal index was calculated using the Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) method. In addition, the association between hypomagnesemia onset and other adverse events was investigated using association analysis. Results. The total number of reported hypomagnesemia cases was 201. Males accounted for 62.7%, and patients in their sixties formed a large peak. Three or more cases were reported for 23 causative drugs, among which anti-EGFR antibody, calcineurin inhibitor, platinum antitumor agent and proton pump inhibitor accounted for the majority. ROR analysis detected signals for 18 drugs, and an association was found between hypomagnesemia and other electrolyte abnormalities for those drugs. The median time until onset of hypomagnesemia was classified into three patterns: around 10 days, around 30 days, and longer. Analysis of the report year revealed an increasing tendency in recent years, although increases/decreases were evident depending on fiscal years. Conclusion. Our survey was able to reveal the factors associated with the occurrence of hypomagnesemia.

Objectives: Platinum compounds cause several adverse events, such as nephrotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, myelosuppression, ototoxicity, and neurotoxicity. We evaluated the incidence of renal impairment as adverse events are related to the administration of platinum compounds using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. Methods: We analyzed adverse events associated with the use of platinum compounds reported from April 2004 to November 2016. The reporting odds ratio at 95% confidence interval was used to detect the signal for each renal impairment incidence. We evaluated the time-to-onset profile of renal impairment and assessed the hazard type using Weibull shape parameter and used the applied association rule mining technique to discover undetected relationships such as possible risk factor. Results: In total, 430,587 reports in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database were analyzed. The reporting odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for renal impairment resulting from the use of cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, and nedaplatin were 2.7 (2.5–3.0), 0.6 (0.5–0.7), 0.8 (0.7–1.0), and 1.3 (0.8–2.1), respectively. The lower limit of the reporting odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for cisplatin was >1. The median (lower–upper quartile) onset time of renal impairment following the use of platinum-based compounds was 6.0–8.0 days. The Weibull shape parameter β and 95% confidence interval upper limit of oxaliplatin were <1. In the association rule mining, the score of lift for patients who were treated with cisplatin and co-administered furosemide, loxoprofen, or pemetrexed was high. Similarly, the scores for patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus were high. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a potential risk of renal impairment during cisplatin use in real-world setting. The present findings demonstrate that the incidence of renal impairment following cisplatin use should be closely monitored when patients are hypertensive or diabetic, or when they are co-administered furosemide, loxoprofen, or pemetrexed. In addition, healthcare professionals should closely assess a patient’s background prior to treatment.

The present study aimed to describe the trends and characteristics of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) reporting for children in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER). We used 6280 AEFI reports for children aged <19 years among 504,407 ADR reports included in the JADER from 2004 to 2017. The number of AEFI reports gradually increased among children aged <10 years and was the highest in 2011 among children aged 10–19 years. The number of suspected vaccines per AEFI report increased after 2011 among children aged <10 years. The percentage of “death” and “did not recover” as AEFI outcomes reported were 4.3% and 3.7% among children aged <10 years and 0.2% and 21.1% among children aged 10–19 years, respectively. The most frequently reported vaccine–reaction pair was Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine and pyrexia among children aged <10 years and recombinant adsorbed bivalent human papillomavirus-like particle vaccine and a loss of consciousness among children aged 10–19 years. It is necessary to consider the Weber effects to understand the trend and characteristics of AEFI reporting because pharmacovigilance activity regarding vaccination is not sufficient in Japan.
