Abstract
Introduction Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a chronic, recurrent, and highly prevalent disease that is associated with significant functional disability. During pregnancy, the prevalence of the disease is approximately 20%, with 12% of these, requiring treatment to avoid important negative consequences for the mother-baby binomial. Risk-benefit assessment of the use of antidepressants during pregnancy is mandatory, in addition to knowledge of the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to these drugs in the offspring. In this study, we will perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the treatment of depression during pregnancy, along with its effectiveness, safety, and possible harm to women and children. Materials and methods We will search for publications in the following databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, and PsycINFO. The reference lists of the included studies will be manually reviewed to identify potentially relevant studies. There will be no restrictions on language or date of publication. Quality assessment of the included studies will be performed independently according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB2) instrument. To assess the certainty of the findings' body of evidence, we will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. This study aimed to ascertain the efficacy and safety of antidepressants in pregnant women and children. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval was not required as individual patient data were not collected. Dissemination: Plan to publish a systematic review in an open-access medical journal at the end of the process. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO, CRD42023447694.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Psychiatric disorders burden the peripartum period, often requiring psychopharmacological treatment, including antidepressants. Efficacy and tolerability of antidepressants are influenced by the physiological changes of the peripartum and individual metabolic profiles, which in turn can be modified by pregnancy. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between antidepressants' pharmacokinetic profiles during pregnancy and individual metabolic profiles, along with the efficacy of the treatment. METHODS In total 87 outpatients with diagnoses of bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder who required antidepressant treatment during pregnancy were recruited. Genotyping analysis of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYPs) individual isoforms was performed. Antidepressants' blood concentrations and psychometric assessments were collected at five time points. Antidepressants' cord blood concentrations were assessed at birth. RESULTS Sertraline showed greater stability in plasma concentrations and a lower placental penetrance index. Most of the antidepressants' concentrations below the therapeutic range were found in women with an extensive/ultrarapid metabolic profile. Antidepressants mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 were less frequently below the therapeutic range compared with antidepressants metabolized by CYP2D6. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy modulates cytochrome activity and drugs' pharmacokinetics. Genotyping analysis of CYPs isoforms and therapeutic drug monitoring might be used to guide clinicians in a well-tolerated treatment of psychiatric symptoms in pregnant women.

Abstract
The tree-based scan statistic is a data mining method used to identify signals of adverse drug reactions in a database of spontaneous reporting systems. It is particularly beneficial when dealing with hierarchical data structures. One may use a retrospective case-control study design from spontaneous reporting systems (SRS) to investigate whether a specific adverse event of interest is associated with certain drugs. However, the existing Bernoulli model of the tree-based scan statistic may not be suitable as it fails to adequately account for dependencies within matched pairs. In this article, we propose signal detection statistics for matched case-control data based on McNemar's test, Wald test for conditional logistic regression, and the likelihood ratio test for a multinomial distribution. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate that our proposed methods outperform the existing approach in terms of the type I error rate, power, sensitivity, and false detection rate. To illustrate our proposed approach, we applied the three methods and the existing method to detect drug signals for dizziness-related adverse events related to antihypertensive drugs using the database of the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:12257. [PMID: 37507539 PMCID: PMC10382477 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-39482-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome potentially fatal and has been associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) treatment in a few case reports. Herein, we purpose to establish the correlation between SSRIs use and rhabdomyolysis using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. We conducted an analysis on reports that were submitted to the FAERS database during the period between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2022. Four algorithms, including reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and empirical Bayes geometric mean (EBGM), were employed to quantify the signals of rhabdomyolysis associated with SSRIs. In total, 16,011,277 non-duplicated reports were obtained and analyzed. Among 33,574 reports related to rhabdomyolysis, SSRIs were classified as primary suspected drug in 889 cases. Disproportionality analysis identified a positive signal between rhabdomyolysis and SSRIs (ROR: 2.86, 95% CI 2.67-3.05; PRR: 2.84, χ2: 1037.16; IC0.25 = 1.39; EBGM0.5 = 2.64). Among six SSRIs, fluvoxamine had the strongest signal (ROR: 11.64, 95% CI 8.00-16.93; PRR: 11.38, χ2: 265.51; IC0.25 = 2.41; EBGM0.5 = 8.31), whereas no significant signal of rhabdomyolysis was detected for paroxetine (ROR: 1.83, 95% CI 1.55-2.15; PRR: 1.82, χ2: 53.82; IC0.25 = 0.73; EBGM0.5 = 1.59). After excluding cases co-administered with statins, the signal of rhabdomyolysis associated with SSRIs remains significant. Our analysis reveals that there are differences in safety signals among six SSRIs in respect to the risk of rhabdomyolysis, with fluvoxamine displaying the highest risk signal, while paroxetine did not show a significant signal. Given the potentially lethal nature of rhabdomyolysis, healthcare professionals should inform patients of the potential risk of rhabdomyolysis associated with SSRIs prior to initiating treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are used as first-line treatment for many psychiatric diseases, especially major depressive disorder. However, an important side effect of these drugs is the risk of bleeding due to platelet dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of hematuria in patients using SSRI/SNRIs and to compare with a control group. METHODS This study included patients who were followed up and treated with SSRI/SNRI in the psychiatric outpatient clinic of the Antalya Medical Park Hospital between 1 January 2021 and 31 March 2021 and a control group comprising patients who presented to the medical check-up outpatient clinic between the same dates. Complete urinalysis was performed for all patients and the results were compared between the groups. RESULTS Each group included 100 patients with a female/male ratio of 1. The mean age was 41.45 ± 13.47 (16-74) years in the study group and 40.51 ± 13.75 (20-70) years in the control group (p = 0.519). Mean duration of SSRI/SNRI use in the study group was 13.35 ± 1.32 (1-64) months. The prevalence of hematuria was 17% in the SSRI/SNRI group and 6% in the control group (p = 0.015). All cases of hematuria were microscopic hematuria. CONCLUSION Hematuria is significantly more common in patients receiving SSRI/SNRI treatment. The use of SSRI/SNRI should also be taken into account when investigating the etiology of hematuria.

Abstract
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a major cause of disability worldwide and is associated with serious lasting impairment. A leading hypothesis of the pathophysiology of MDD is the monoamine deficiency hypothesis which suggests that depression is caused by depletion of serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine in the central nervous system. Serotonin is the most widely studied neurotransmitter in the pathophysiology of depression, with studies showing that reduced central serotonin synthesis leads to depressive symptoms in individuals at risk for depression. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) inhibit serotonin reuptake and subsequently increase the amount of serotonin available in synapses. Common side effects of SSRIs include increased suicidality of patients under the age of 25, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, dizziness, weight gain, gastrointestinal distress, and headache. Other side effects include prolonging the QT interval, coagulopathy, and the risk of serotonin syndrome, as well as SSRI discontinuation syndrome. Sites of increased bleeding related to SSRI use have been reported to occur in the upper gastrointestinal tract, as well as intracranially. Based on the current literature, three studies have found that SSRIs are not associated with increased bleeding and/or increased perioperative risk, while others have demonstrated that SSRIs are associated with an increased risk in perioperative use. The inhibition of serotonin reuptake can affect platelet aggregation since platelets also express the serotonin transporter. SSRIs can result in decreased storage of serotonin in platelet dense granules. Increased serotonin can also increase gastric acid secretion, which increases the risk for ulceration. SSRIs in combination with NSAIDs also show a significantly increased risk of upper GI bleeding. Some studies show an increased bleeding risk from 30% to 70% when taking a combination of vitamin K antagonists and SSRIs in hospitalized patients. Related to the high prevalence of conditions that are treated with SSRIs, the bleeding risk associated with this class of medication merits further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some studies have linked the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs/SNRIs) to the risk of perinatal complications. This study explored the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics, SSRIs/SNRIs tolerability and effectiveness and maternal and newborn outcomes. METHODS Fifty-five pregnant women with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) diagnoses of affective disorders, treated with SSRIs/SNRIs, were recruited and, during the third trimester, their blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic analyses. Plasma levels and metabolic phenotypes were then related to different obstetrical and maternal outcomes. RESULTS The pharmacokinetic data were more stable for Sertraline, Citalopram, and Escitalopram compared to other molecules (p = 0.009). The occurrence of postnatal adaptation syndrome onset was associated with higher plasma levels for Sertraline (median at delivery: 16.7 vs. 10.5 ng/ml), but not for fluoxetine and venlafaxine. Finally, the subgroup within range plasma concentrations had less blood loss than the below range subgroup (p = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS Plasma levels of Sertraline, Citalopram and Escitalopram were more frequently in range in late pregnancy when compared to other drugs. Drug plasma concentrations do not strictly correlate with worse perinatal outcomes, but with possible differences between the different drugs.

Abstract
The published experience with biologics in childbearing age with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases mainly deals with the use of TNFα inhibitors (TNFα-i). Limited data are available for biologics targeting other cytokines or immunocompetent cells, especially for the inflammasome targeted therapy including IL-1 inhibitors and colchicine. We conducted a nested case-control study by using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System database aimed at quantifying the association between the use of IL-1 inhibitors/colchicine in pregnant women and the occurrence of maternal/fetal adverse effects. The reporting odds ratio was used as a measure of disproportional reporting. From the total cohort (40,033 pregnant women), we retrieved 7,620 reports related to neonatal AEs, 2,889 to fetal disorders, 8,364 to abortion, 8,787 to congenital disorders, and 7,937 to labor/delivery complications. Inflammasome-targeted drugs did not present any disproportionate reporting for all these clusters of AEs. TNFα-i confirmed their safety during pregnancy with aROR < 1 for all clusters of AEs except for labor complications. Finally, we performed a systematic review of the current literature. Data from the eligible studies (12 observational studies and 6 case reports; yielding a total of 2,075 patients) were reassuring. We found no major safety issues on malformations risk of inflammasome targeted therapies in pregnancy. However, due to limited data, the routine use of these agents should be considered in pregnancy only if risk benefit assessment justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Abstract
Fluoxetine is one of SSRIs commonly used as first-line antidepressants. It also induces adverse effects, including bleeding events. This study clarified the bleeding effect of fluoxetine and explored the action cascade of this drug leading to a longer bleeding time. A total of 48 male adult mice were evenly distributed into four groups and given fluoxetine in saline at 0, 4, 8, or 16 mg/kg, for 14 days. On day 15, tail bleeding time of 6 mice/group was measured, and their blood samples were collected for analyses of relevant platelet functions. The remained mice were allowed to survive for another 14 days without fluoxetine, and subjected to the same analyses on day 29. A significant effect of fluoxetine was reveled on bleeding time (F (3,20) = 16.842, P < 0.01) and intraplatelet serotonin (F (3,20) = 90.967, P < 0.01). Moreover, fluoxetine effectively inhibited platelet aggregation (F(3, 20) = 30.247, P < 0.01), decreased amount of GPIbα (F(3, 20) = 23.855, P < 0.01), suppressed GPIIb/IIIa activation (F(3, 20) = 89.441, P < 0.01), and lowered P-selectin (F(3, 20) = 7.960, P < 0.01) on platelet surface. Negative correlations existed between bleeding time and the aforementioned four indices, whereas correlations between intraplatelet serotonin and the same indices were positive. All changes returned to same levels as Control group after fluoxetine withdrawal. These data suggest an action pathway of fluoxetine starting at binding to serotonin transporter, followed by decreased intraplatelet serotonin, increased GPIbα shedding, suppressed GPIIb/IIIa activation, and inhibited α-granule release, and concluding with prolonged bleeding time in mice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an important contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Predicting which laboring women are likely to have a PPH is an active area of research and a component of quality improvement bundles. The purpose of this study was to identify phenotypes of labor processes (ie, labors that have similar features, such as duration and type of interventions) in a cohort of women who had vaginal births, estimate the likelihood of PPH by phenotype, and analyze how maternal and fetal characteristics relate to PPH risk by phenotype. METHODS This study utilized the Consortium for Safe Labor dataset (2002-2008) and examined term, singleton, vaginal births. Using 16 variables describing the labor and birth processes, a latent class analysis was performed to describe distinct labor process phenotypes. RESULTS Of 24,729 births, 1167 (4.72%) women experienced PPH. Five phenotypes best fit the data, reflecting labor interventions, duration, and complications. Women who had shorter duration of admission after spontaneous labor onset (admitted in latent or active labor) had the lowest rate of PPH (3.8%-3.9%). The 2 phenotypes of labor progress characterized by women who had complicated prolonged labors (spontaneous or induced) had the highest rate of PPH (8.0% and 12.0%, respectively). However, the majority of PPH (n = 881, 75%) occurred in the phenotypes with fewer complications. Prepregnancy body mass index did not predict PPH. Overall, the odds of PPH were highest among nulliparous women (odds ratio [OR], 1.52; 95% CI, 1.30-1.77), as well as Black women (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.13-1.73) and Hispanic women (OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.56-2.20). Within phenotypes, maternal race and ethnicity, nulliparity, macrosomia, hypertension, and depression were associated with increased odds of PPH. DISCUSSION Women who were classified into a lower-risk labor phenotype and still experienced PPH were more likely to be nulliparous, a person of color, or diagnosed with hypertension.
