Abstract
Purpose
To determine the association between pentosan polysulfate (PPS) use and the subsequent development of maculopathy in an Asian population.
Design
A nationwide, population-based retrospective cohort study using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database.
Participants
A total of 103 553 individuals in the PPS user group and 205 792 individuals in the PPS nonuser group, all newly diagnosed with cystitis between 2009 and 2020.
Methods
The association between PPS use and maculopathy was evaluated using a time-dependent Cox proportional hazard model. Additionally, 2 sensitivity analyses were conducted by defining PPS users as individuals with an observation period over 6 months from the initial prescription or those with a cumulative dose exceeding 9 g, using the same analysis.
Main Outcome Measures
The outcome measures included the hazard ratios (HRs) representing the association between PPS use and maculopathy.
Results
Use of PPS was associated with an increased risk of subsequent maculopathy in univariate (HR, 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66–1.75) and multivariate analysis (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.31–1.38). These results were also confirmed in 2 sensitivity analyses. The mean cumulative dose of PPS for the cohort was 37.2 ± 76.7 g.
Conclusions
In this nationwide cohort study involving an Asian population, individuals with cystitis using PPS exhibit an increased risk of developing subsequent maculopathy.
