Abstract Observational studies have found a significant association between acid-suppressive drug use and incident asthma. However, the association between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and incident asthma in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear. Thus, this study assessed the association between PPI use and incident asthma in patients with CAD. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan from 2004 to 2013. Each patient who took PPIs was assigned to the PPI group, whereas 1:1 sex-, age-, and drug index date-matched randomly selected patients without PPI prescription were assigned to the non-PPI group. We analyzed the risk of incident asthma using Cox proportional hazard regression models, including sex, age, urbanization, low income, and comorbidities. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were also conducted. A total of 8499 cases were identified as PPI‐treated patients, and 8,499 subjects were included in the control group of PPI non‐users. After adjusting for sex, age, urbanization, low income, and comorbidities, PPI user was associated with a 1.18-fold (HR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.05–1.34) increase for incident asthma in patients with CAD. We concluded that PPI use increased the risk of incident asthma in patients with CAD. The risk of incident asthma should be considered when weighing the benefits and risks of PPI and aspirin treatment in patients with CAD in clinical practice.

Background: Published data indicated that combination use of clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). This has been a highly controversial topic for years. Design: The present study was performed to evaluate whether combination therapy of clopidogrel and PPIs is associated with increased risk of MACEs than with clopidogrel alone in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was conducted for studies recording the occurrence of MACEs in patients with exposure to concomitant use of clopidogrel and PPIs up to February 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) were combined using a random-effects model. Results: Patients receiving combination therapy with PPIs and clopidogrel were at significantly increased risk of MACEs (OR: 1.42; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-1.55). Adding a PPI to clopidogrel treatment was associated with a higher rate of MACE occurrence in rapid metabolizers (RMs, *1/*1) of CYP2C19 (OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.12-1.81), but there was no obviously increased rate (OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.89-2.28) in decreased metabolizers (with 1 or 2 loss-of-function allele). The increased risk of MACEs was similar in 4 classes of PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and pantoprazole), but rabeprazole (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.55-1.95) wasn’t. Conclusion: The combination use of clopidogrel and certain types of PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, pantoprazole) increases the risk of MACE in patients with coronary artery disease. Only in the RMs of CYP2C19, PPIs were associated with significantly increased MACE in patients coadministered with clopidogrel.
