Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but often lethal drug reaction involving the skin. Treatment is often centered around suppurative care, and the mortality rate remains unacceptably high, although the clinical and epidemiological features of TEN have been well documented for decades. Recent studies have placed an emphasis on certain medications in the pathophysiology of severe TEN, and our colleagues previously reported several cases of clinical improvement in TEN patients following hemodialysis. Here, we discuss the major considerations for initiating dialysis in TEN patients. By doing so, we hope to encourage others to explore this potential avenue for treating TEN, one of the most serious medical emergencies in the field of dermatology.

ALLERGY, ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH 2023; 15:812-824. [PMID: 37957797 PMCID: PMC10643861 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2023.15.6.812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Our study aimed to explore potential prognostic factors in Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) patients from easily accessible laboratory data and to investigate whether the combination of these indicators with a score for toxic epidermal necrolysis (SCORTEN) can improve the predictive value. METHODS Data from 85 SJS/TEN patients hospitalized from 2010 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Univariate analysis was used to screen for laboratory indexes associated with death. Logistic regression was used to analyze significant risk factors for death. The differentiation and calibration of SCORTEN and modified score were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to evaluate the incremental prognostic value. RESULTS Among the 85 patients (37 males, 48 females) aged 14-88 years, the mortality rate was 11.8% (n = 10). SCORTEN had good discrimination and calibration to predict mortality in this cohort of patients (area under the ROC curve [AUC] of 0.874, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.758-0.990; Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test P = 0.994). Red cell distribution width-standard deviation index (RDW-SD) > 47.9 fL and procalcitonin (PCT) > 0.67 ng/mL were significant risk factors for death. When adding the 2 factors to SCORTEN, AUC was 0.915 (95% CI, 0.833-0.997), but not statistically different compared to SCORTEN alone (P = 0.091). The NRI was 1.2 (95% CI, 0.672-1.728; P < 0.001) and the IDI was 0.09 (95% CI, 0.011-0.173; P = 0.026), still suggesting that the modified score had better discriminatory and predictive power than SCORTEN alone. The modified score also showed good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, P = 0.915). CONCLUSIONS SCORTEN is a good predictor of mortality in SJS/TEN patients in southwest China. Combining RDW-SD > 47.9 fL and PCT > 0.67 ng/mL with SCORTEN may enhance the ability to predict prognosis.

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening spectrum diseases in which a medication triggers a mucocutaneous reaction associated with severe necrosis and loss of epidermal integrity. The disease has a high mortality rate that can be assessed by dermatology scoring scales based on an affected total body surface area (TBSA). Sloughing of <10% TBSA is considered SJS, with a mortality of 10%. Sloughing of >30% TBSA is termed TEN, with an increased mortality rate of 25% to 35%. We present a case and management of TEN that involved >30% TBSA in a critically ill African American woman. Identification of the offending agent was difficult due to complicated medication exposure throughout her multi-facility care management. This case conveys the importance of close monitoring of a critically ill patient during a clinical course involving SJS-/TEN-inducing drugs. We also discuss the potential increased risks for SJS/TEN in the African American population due to genetic or epigenetic predispositions to skin conditions. This case report also contributes to increasing skin of color representation in the current literature. Additionally, we discuss the use of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT, OpenAI LP, OpenAI Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) and list its benefits and errors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early prediction of AKI is crucial for critically ill patients. We investigated the association between small increase in creatinine and subsequent severe AKI in ICU patients. METHODS We conducted this retrospective cohort with a multi-institutional database between 2007 and 2019. We included adult patients admitted to the ICU with creatinine changes that did not meet the criteria for AKI diagnosis within 48 h of ICU admission. The outcomes were stage 2 or 3 AKI, kidney replacement therapy, and mortality. RESULTS We identified 44,805 patients and divided them into 3 groups by baseline creatinine levels: <1 mg/dL, 1 to 2 mg/dL, and ≥ 2 mg/dL. Compared with patients with higher baseline creatinine levels, patients with normal baseline creatinine levels had fewer comorbidities and less severe condition at ICU admission. The odds ratios of their outcomes increased exponentially with creatinine elevation within the first 48 h of ICU admission. The increasing odds ratios were more prominent in patients with normal baseline creatinine (P for interaction <0.001). CONCLUSION Small creatinine elevation within the first 48 h of ICU admission was strongly associated with the AKI, kidney replacement therapy, and death. This association was more prominent in patients with normal baseline creatinine.

Abstract
Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are on a spectrum of cutaneous drug reactions characterized by pan-epidermal necrosis with SJS affecting < 10% of body surface area (BSA), TEN > 30%, and SJS/TEN overlap between 10 and 30%. Severity-of-illness score for toxic epidermal necrolysis (SCORTEN) is a validated tool to predict mortality rates based on age, heart rate, BSA, malignancy and serum urea, bicarbonate, and glucose. Despite improved understanding, SJS/TEN mortality remains constant and therapeutic interventions are not universally accepted for a number of reasons, including rarity of SJS/TEN; inconsistent definition of cases, disease severity, and endpoints in studies; low efficacy of interventions; and variations in treatment protocols. Apart from mortality, none of the other endpoints used to evaluate interventions, including duration of hospitalization, is sufficiently standardized to be reproducible across cases and treatment centers. Some of the gaps in SJS/TEN research can be narrowed through international collaboration to harmonize research endpoints. A case is made for an urgent international collaborative effort to develop consensus on definitions of endpoints such as disease status, progression, cessation, and complete re-epithelialization in interventional studies. The deficiencies of using BSA as the sole determinant of SJS/TEN severity, excluding internal organ involvement and extension of skin necrosis beyond the epidermis, are discussed and the role these factors play on time to healing and mortality beyond the acute stage is highlighted. The potential role of artificial intelligence, biomarkers, and PET/CT scan with radiolabeled glucose as markers of disease status, activity, and therapeutic response is also discussed.

Chronic kidney disease is potentially an independent prognostic factor for death in Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:939210.

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are mucocutaneous conditions associated with high mortality and morbidity. Although several prognostic factors have been proposed, some may have yet to be identified. A 14-year retrospective cohort study of patients with SJS/TEN was conducted at a university-based hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, to explore additional prognostic factors for mortality of patients with SJS/TEN. Medical records of all patients aged ≥18 years who were diagnosed with SJS, SJS-TEN overlap, or TEN between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine associations between death and potential prognostic factors. A total of 76 patients with a mean age of 52 years were enrolled. Among them, 46, 15, and 15 patients were diagnosed with SJS, SJS-TEN overlap, and TEN, respectively. Overall, 10 patients deceased, marking a mortality rate of 13.2%. Based on an algorithm for assessment of drug causality for epidermal necrolysis, drug was the major cause of disease (96.1%). Allopurinol and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were the most frequent culprit drugs. Univariate analysis revealed nine prognostic factors related to death, i.e., age, malignancy, chronic kidney disease (CKD), coronary artery disease, heart rate >120 beats/min, diagnoses of SJS-TEN overlap and TEN, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) >10 mmol/L, hemoglobin <10 g/dL, and serum albumin <2 g/dL. Causality with regard to drug, drug notoriety, time interval from drug intake to onset of reaction, and timing of culprit drug withdrawal were not significantly associated with death. Four independent prognostic factors for mortality were identified from multivariate analysis, i.e., TEN (risk ratio [RR] 8.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.71–25.38), malignancy (RR 3.34, 95% CI: 1.68–6.69), BUN >10 mmol/L (RR 3.02, 95% CI: 1.28–7.14), and early-stage CKD (RR 4.81, 95% CI: 2.49–9.28). Our findings suggest that CKD is an independent prognostic factor for mortality of patients with SJS/TEN besides those from the SCORTEN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) are high-mortality adverse drug reactions. The risk factors and prognosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) concomitant with SCAR warrant clarification. We aimed to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of DILI with SCAR. METHODS We analysed the database of a 10-year multi-centre prospective study in Taiwan from 2011 to 2020. RESULTS A total of 1415 patients with DILI were enrolled, including 81 cases combined with SJS/TEN, 74 with DRESS, 3 with AGEP and 1257 with pure DILI. Approximated 11.2% of patients had SCAR, of which allopurinol was the leading incriminated drug, followed by sulphonamides and carbamazepine. The SJS/TEN group had the highest mortality (34.6%). Jaundice, acute kidney injury and SJS/TEN were independent risk factors of mortality (odds ratio: 29.54, 4.43 and 4.86, respectively, P < .003). Chronic kidney disease with high-dose allopurinol also contributed to high mortality (78.9%) in cases of allopurinol-induced DILI with SCAR. The HLA-B*5801 was associated with a high risk and mortality of allopurinol-induced DILI with SCAR. Likewise, the HLA-B*1502 was closely related to carbamazepine-induced DILI with SCAR. CONCLUSIONS DILI patients combined with SCAR are common and have a high mortality in Taiwan. Allopurinol is the leading incriminated drug. Jaundice, acute kidney injury and SJS/TEN are risk factors of mortality. HLA-B*5801, chronic kidney disease and high drug dosage also contribute to high mortality in allopurinol-induced DILI with SCAR.

Abstract
The relationship between hyperuricemia, gout, and renal disease has been investigated for several years. From the beginning, kidney disease has been considered a complication of gout; however, the viewpoints changed, claiming that hypertension and elevated uric acid (UA) levels are caused by decreased urate excretion in patients with renal impairment. To date, several examples of evidence support the role of hyperuricemia in cardiovascular or renal diseases. Several mechanisms have been identified that explain the relationship between hyperuricemia and chronic kidney disease, including the crystal effect, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, nitric oxide synthesis inhibition, and intracellular oxidative stress stimulation, and urate-lowering therapy (ULT) has been proven to reduce renal disease progression in the past few years. In this comprehensive review, the source and physiology of UA are introduced, and the mechanisms that explain the reciprocal relationship between hyperuricemia and kidney disease are reviewed. Lastly, current evidence supporting the use of ULT to postpone renal disease progression in patients with hyperuricemia and gout are summarized.

Abstract
Introduction Nephrotoxicity is the most important adverse effect of colistin therapy. We investigated the frequency of nephrotoxicity, risk factors related to nephrotoxicity, and its relationship with mortality in patients who received intravenous colistin in intensive care units (ICUs). Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who received intravenous colistin in ICUs between 2011 and 2017. Acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis and staging were made based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome criteria. Results There were 149 patients included in the study with 61% being male. The mean age was 58.7 ± 20.3 years. AKI was detected in 96 (64.4%) patients. There were 25 patients with AKI stage 1 (16.8%) and 71 patients with AKI stage 2 or 3 (47.7%). Advanced age (65.0 vs. 47.4 years; p < .001), diabetes mellitus (p < .001), heart failure (p = .01), high APACHE II score (31.7 vs. 28.08, p = .019), and inotrope usage (p = .01) were found as risk factors for AKI. The 14-day mortality rate was higher in the AKI group (p = .027). Discussion Higher AKI and mortality rates are observed in patients with diabetes, heart failure, advanced age and the hemodynamically impaired. However, it is a fact that there are no alternative therapies other than colistin in the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Therefore, the development of AKI in this patient group should not be considered a sufficient reason for discontinuing colistin treatment. Understanding the risk factors in this potential nephrotoxic treatment can provide a more careful patient follow-up.

Abstract
Background: Clinicodemographic and laboratory parameters predicting the outcome of Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) may vary among populations owing to genotypic and environmental variations. There is a scarcity of studies evaluating these parameters in Indian population. Aims: To analyze clinicodemographic and laboratory parameters predicting disease outcome in patients of SJS/TEN. Materials and Methods: Clinical records of patients admitted with a diagnosis of SJS/TEN from January 2014 to December 2018 were reviewed retrospectively with respect to data pertaining to clinicodemographic details, laboratory parameters, and disease outcome. Results: Of 51 patients included in the study, 24 (47.06%) were females. Anticonvulsants [phenytoin (19.6%), carbamazepine (13.7%), others (5.88%)] were the most commonly implicated drugs followed by NSAIDs (19.6%). The overall mortality was 21.6% [SJS (0%), SJS-TEN overlap (18.8%), and TEN (28.6%)]. The mean detached body surface area (BSA) (35.4% ± 10.4% vs. 25.7% ± 11.8%; P = 0.02) was significantly higher among patients with mortality. Blood urea nitrogen, serum HCO3− levels, and random blood sugar were significantly associated with mortality. Presence of sepsis during the disease course was associated with higher mortality (9/12 vs. 2/39; P = 0.001). Other components of SCORTEN like age and heart rate were not significantly associated with poor outcome in our study. None of our patients had associated malignancy. Conclusion: A higher detached BSA, presence of sepsis, higher blood urea nitrogen and random blood sugar, and lower serum HCO3− levels were associated with mortality. Refinement of scoring systems predicting the outcome of SJS-TEN is needed for better disease prognostication.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to analyze changes to the drug spectrum and clinicopathological features of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) with recent medication habits changes. Methods A retrospective analysis of the characteristics of patients diagnosed with drug-induced AKI from January 2012 to October 2016 period at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Zhejiang University was conducted. Results Between January 2012 and October 2016, 909 patients were diagnosed with AKI. Of these, 228 were diagnosed with drug-related AKI were engaged in this study, including 51 who underwent renal biopsies, 74 treated with antibacterial and antiviral drugs, and 63 who received nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and 17 who were treated with Chinese herbal medicine. AKI was most frequently associated with antibiotics and antiviral drugs, including cephalosporins, acyclovir, azithromycin, clindamycin, and levofloxacin. In those who underwent renal biopsy, 12 patients were diagnosed with allergic interstitial nephritis, 19 with interstitial nephritis, 8 with renal tubular epithelial cell injury, 2 with minimal change nephropathy, 2 with IgA nephropathy, and 2 with mild mesangial hyperplasia with glomerulosclerosis. The mean follow-up time was 437 days, ranging from 3 to 2,756 days. Among 228 patients, 165 recovered completely, 4 recovered partially, 8 did not recover, and 51 were lost to follow-up after discharge. Conclusions The three main contributors to drug-induced AKI were antimicrobial agents, NSAIDs, and Chinese herbal medicines. The age distribution of the three different drug-induced AKI groups was significantly different. Allergic interstitial nephritis, interstitial nephritis, and tubular epithelial cell injury were the main pathological manifestations of drug-induced AKI. The novel predictive nomogram achieved a good performance of prediction recovery within 2 weeks in drug-induced AKI patients.

Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare, potentially fatal disorder that involves large areas of skin desquamation. Patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis are frequently referred to burn centres for expert wound management and early comprehensive critical care as this has been shown to improve patient outcome and mortality. The authors describe the first report of medication-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis occurring in a patient during acute burn management in a tertiary burn care facility. The patient sustained a 17% total body surface area flame burn to her face, chest, bilateral upper limbs and bilateral lower limbs while escaping from a wildfire. She required extensive debridement and allografting to manage burn injured areas and additional areas of epidermal loss from subsequent toxic epidermal necrolysis, amounting to a total body surface area of 90%. Definitive burn wound closure was achieved using autologous split-thickness skin grafting once donor sites healed and became suitable for harvest 3 weeks after the onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis. Grafts achieved complete take and the patient was discharged home following rehabilitation..
