Abstract
Background: Concerns regarding statin-related neurocognitive disorders have emerged in recent years. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent results. We evaluated the association between statins and neurocognitive disorders using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Research design and methods: Data from 2004 to 2022 were obtained from the FAERS database. After deduplication and standardization of drug names, we extracted neurocognitive disorder event (NCDE) cases reported with statins as the suspected drugs. The significant association between statins and NCDE was evaluated using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component.
Results: In total, 6,959 NCDE cases with statins as the primary suspected drugs were identified. Signals were detected in pravastatin (ROR, 1.49; 95% CI: 1.32-1.67), atorvastatin (ROR, 1.39; 95% CI: 1.34-1.44), and simvastatin (ROR, 1.31; 95% CI: 1.25-1.38). Age-stratified analysis showed that (1) in the population aged 65 years and older, signals were detected for atorvastatin, simvastatin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin, lovastatin, fluvastatin, and pitavastatin; and (2) in populations under 65 years of age, signals were detected for atorvastatin, simvastatin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin, and lovastatin.
Conclusions: This study suggests a significant association between the NCDE and statins, including atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin. The intensity of the association increased with age.
期刊介绍:
Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
