Association Between Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Dissection With Fluoroquinolones Use in Patients With Urinary Tract Infections: A Population‐Based Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Fluoroquinolones are first‐line antibiotics recommended for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), with frequent reports of adverse effects of aortic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD). We examined whether fluoroquinolones can increase the risk of AA and AD i...

description | BACKGROUND: Fluoroquinolones are first‐line antibiotics recommended for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), with frequent reports of adverse effects of aortic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD). We examined whether fluoroquinolones can increase the risk of AA and AD in patients with UTIs in the Taiwanese population. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used the National Health Insurance Research Database to identify patients diagnosed with UTIs under single antibiotic treatment of fluoroquinolones and first‐, second‐, or third‐generation cephalosporins. An AA and AD diagnosis within a year constituted the study event. Multivariable analysis with a multiple Cox regression model was applied for comparing the hazard risk of AA and AD between fluoroquinolones and first‐ or second‐generation cephalosporins. Propensity score matching was performed to reduce the potential for bias caused by measured confounding variables. Among 1 249 944 selected patients with UTIs, 28 568 patients were assigned to each antibiotic group after propensity score matching. The incidence of AA and AD was not significantly different between the fluoroquinolones and first‐ or second‐generation cephalosporins (adjusted HR [aHR], 0.86 [95% CI, 0.59–1.27]). However, the mortality increased in the fluoroquinolones group (aHR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.04–1.16]). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with first‐ or second‐generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones were not associated with increased risk of AA and AD in patients with UTI. However, a significant risk of mortality was still found in patients treated with fluoroquinolones. The priority is to control infections with adequate antibiotics rather than exclude fluoroquinolones considering the risk of AA and AD for patients with UTI. |
