[PMID: 38756371 PMCID: PMC11096545 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1362309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients suffer high risks of mortality. Ondansetron has been verified to be effective in improving the prognosis of some kinds of critically ill patients. We design this study to explore whether ondansetron use is associated with lower risks of mortality among TBI patients. Methods TBI patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III were collected. The usage of ondansetron, including intravenous injection and oral tablet, since admission to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2001 and 2012 was identified. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to analyze the relationship between the ondansetron use and mortality of TBI patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to generate balanced cohorts of the non-ondansetron use group and ondansetron use group. Sub-group analysis was performed to verify the association between the ondansetron use and mortality of TBI patients in different TBI severity levels after PSM. Results In TBI cohorts before PSM, the usage incidence of ondansetron was 37.2%. The 30-day mortality was significantly lower in the ondansetron group (p < 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression showed that ondansetron was associated with the lower mortality of TBI patients (p = 0.008). In TBI cohorts after PSM, the 30-day mortality of the ondansetron group was lower than that of the non-ondansetron group, although without statistical significance (p = 0.079). Logistic regression indicated ondansetron use was significantly associated with the lower mortality of moderate-to-severe TBI (p < 0.001) but not mild TBI (p = 0.051). In addition, Cox regression also presented that ondansetron use was significantly associated with the lower mortality of moderate-to-severe TBI (p < 0.001) but not mild TBI (p = 0.052). Conclusion Ondansetron usage is associated with a lower mortality risk of moderate-to-severe TBI but not mild TBI patients. Ondansetron may be a novel adjunctive therapeutic strategy to improve the prognosis of moderate-to-severe TBI patients.

Wu G, Ma Y, Wei W, Zeng J, Han Y, Song Y, Wang Z, Qian W. Ondansetron: recommended antiemetics for patients with acute pancreatitis? a population-based study. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1155391. [PMID: 37234720 PMCID: PMC10205993 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1155391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: Ondansetron administration is a common antemetic of acute pancreatitis therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), but its actual association with patients' outcomes has not been confirmed. The study is aimed to determine whether the multiple outcomes of ICU patients with acute pancreatitis could benefit from ondansetron. Methods: 1,030 acute pancreatitis patients diagnosed in 2008-2019 were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database as our study cohort. The primary outcome we considered is the 90-day prognosis, and secondary outcomes included in-hospital survival and overall prognosis. Results: In MIMIC-IV, 663 acute pancreatitis patients received ondansetron administration (OND group) during their hospitalization, while 367 patients did not (non-OND group). Patients in the OND group presented better in-hospital, 90-day, and overall survival curves than the non-OND group (log-rank test: in-hospital: p < 0.001, 90-day: p = 0.002, overall: p = 0.009). After including covariates, ondansetron was associated with better survival in patients with multiple outcomes (in-hospital: HR = 0.50, 90-day: HR = 0.63, overall: HR = 0.66), and the optimal dose inflection points were 7.8 mg, 4.9 mg, and 4.6 mg, respectively. The survival benefit of ondansetron was unique and stable in the multivariate analyses after consideration of metoclopramide, diphenhydramine, and prochlorperazine, which may also be used as antiemetics. Conclusion: In ICU acute pancreatitis patients, ondansetron administration was associated with better 90-day outcomes, while results were similar in terms of in-hospital and overall outcomes, and the recommended minimum total dose might be suggested to be 4-8 mg.

Adjunctive granisetron therapy in patients with sepsis or septic shock (GRANTISS): A single-center, single-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1013284. [PMID: 36582527 PMCID: PMC9792607 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1013284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: In preclinical experiments, we demonstrated that the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist granisetron results in reduced inflammation and improved survival in septic mice. This randomized controlled trial was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of granisetron in patients with sepsis. Methods: Adult patients with sepsis and procalcitonin ≥ 2 ng/ml were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive intravenous granisetron (3 mg every 8 h) or normal saline at the same volume and frequency for 4 days or until intensive care unit discharge. The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included the duration of supportive therapies for organ function, changes in sequential organ failure assessment scores over 96 h, procalcitonin reduction rate over 96 h, the incidence of new organ dysfunction, and changes in laboratory variable over 96 h. Adverse events were monitored as the safety outcome. Results: The modified intention-to-treat analysis included 150 septic patients. The 28-day all-cause mortalities in the granisetron and placebo groups were 34.7% and 35.6%, respectively (odds ratio, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.49-1.89). No differences were observed in secondary outcomes. In the subgroup analysis of patients without abdominal or digestive tract infections, the 28-day mortality in the granisetron group was 10.9% lower than mortality in the placebo group. Adverse events were not statistically different between the groups. Conclusion: Granisetron did not improve 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis. However, a further clinical trial targeted to septic patients without abdominal/digestive tract infections perhaps is worthy of consideration.

Xiong D, Xiong C. Early Postoperative Ondansetron Exposure is Associated with Reduced 90-Day Mortality in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. Front Surg 2022; 9:885137. [PMID: 35784927 PMCID: PMC9243460 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.885137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ondansetron is a widely used anti-emetic for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting for patients in critical care. Recent retrospective cohort studies suggest the potential beneficial effects of ondansetron in critically ill patients. In this study, we investigate the impact of ondansetron use on patient outcomes after cardiac surgery. Material and Methods The MIMIC-III database was used to identify two types of cardiac surgical patients: those who were administered early ondansetron and those who were not given this early medication in the first 48 h in the postoperative period. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the effect of ondansetron exposure on 90-day mortality, acute kidney injury, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Sensitivity analyses utilizing the inverse probability of treatment weighting and covariate balancing propensity score models were conducted to test the robustness of our findings. Results A total of 12.4% of patients received ondansetron. Ondansetron use was associated with a lower risk of 90-day mortality in the multivariable logistic regression model (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.72; P = 0.006) and sensitivity analyses. Additionally, ondansetron exposure was associated with less postoperative acute kidney injury (OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.69 to 0.96; P = 0.017) but did not increase the risk of postoperative malignant ventricular arrhythmias (OR: 0.38, 95%CI: 0.09 to 1.16; P = 0.191). Conclusions In a population of cardiac surgical patients, early postoperative use of ondansetron appears to be associated with decreased 90-day mortality and acute kidney injury.
