However, SGLT2i have been associated with an increased risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This case series describes three cases of patients who developed euglycemic DKA while taking SGLT2i. Key Findings: Each of the three patients with euglycemic DKA were taking SGLT2i for the treatment of diabetes and all had additional risk factors for the development of DKA. These factors included reduced oral intake, major acute illness, chronic pancreatitis, and a history of previous DKA episodes. Unfortunately, the absence of hallmark symptoms like hyperglycemia, polyuria, and polydipsia led to delayed diagnosis of euglycemic DKA in two of the three patients. Conclusion: Early recognition of risk factors and a high level of suspicion are critical in identifying euglycemic DKA in patients taking SGLT2i. Healthcare providers should conduct thorough medication reconciliation upon admission and closely monitor patients for concurrent issues, especially in cases of minimal oral intake, acute illnesses, and chronic pancreatitis. Prompt diagnosis and management of euglycemic DKA can significantly improve patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":16818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy practice","volume":" ","pages":"193-197"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141913068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It belongs to the category of medications with a limited therapeutic window and requires therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). PTH has been observed to induce a variety of Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) including ataxia, dystonia, nystagmus, dyskinesia, etc. Phenytoin-induced ataxia is an uncommonly observed ADR of Phenytoin whose reports are extremely limited. Case: Herein, we present a case report of a 16-year-old Asian patient with a past history of epilepsy that was admitted to a tertiary care hospital due to the development of ataxia, giddiness, and vomiting when taking Phenytoin in addition to Oxcarbazepine, Clobazam, and Levetiracetam to treat seizures. On admission, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed bilateral variable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lesions in the parieto-occipital region of the periventricular area (periventricular leukomalacia). Additionally, serum Phenytoin levels were observed to be in the toxic range (40 μg/mL) due to which physicians confirmed the ADR to be due to Phenytoin toxicity. Thus, the Phenytoin drug was discontinued in the patient gradually and he was continued on clobazam, oxcarbazepine, and brivaracetam which led to reversal of the ADR in the patient. Conclusion: In this case, ataxia resulted from Phenytoin overdose, as confirmed by MRI and serum tests suggesting that TDM of Phenytoin is essential to prevent ADRs. Given the scarcity of ataxia cases caused by Phenytoin, awareness is lacking within the scientific community. Our aim is to provide insights to promote better monitoring and patient-centered treatment outcomes for epileptic patients.","PeriodicalId":16818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy practice","volume":" ","pages":"180-186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141317573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between nephrotoxic medications and the risk of AKI in critically ill children admitted to our paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: Patients aged > 1 month to ≤18 years old were prospectively recruited from 6/2020 to 6/2021. The medication records from 14 days prior to PICU admission to PICU discharge were reviewed. Medication-exposure intensity was defined as the number of concomitant nephrotoxic medications.

Cefepime induced neurotoxicity (CIN) is a well-documented adverse effect, although data describing the risk of CIN in patients with a history of seizures (HOS) remains limited. Objectives: The primary and secondary objectives were to compare the rates of CIN in patients with and without HOS and identify risk factors associated with CIN, respectively. Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study of patients admitted to University Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 that were initiated on cefepime with and without a baseline HOS. Patients were matched at a rate of 1:1 by age (+/- 5 years), sex, and month of admission (+/- 1 month). Results: A total of 150 patients were included, 75 in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in CIN between the two groups (9 vs 7, P = 0.7923). The only risk factors associated with CIN were age >65 (OR, 5.8 [95% CI, 1.194-27.996]), acute kidney injury (AKI) during cefepime administration (OR, 13.8 [95% CI, 2.528-75.206]), and an intensive care unit (ICU) stay (OR, 8.6 [95% CI, 1.735-42.624]). Conclusion: There was no increased risk of CIN observed in patients with HOS. Patients age >65, AKI while receiving cefepime and those admitted to the ICU were 5.8, 13.8, and 8.6 times more likely to experience CIN.

Previous studies evaluating combination therapy in gram-negative bacteremia have not shown clear benefits, however antimicrobial resistance was not prevalent in these studies. Our objective is to elucidate potential benefits of adding a single dose of an aminoglycoside to a beta-lactam in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, cohort study including patients 18 years old or older and treated for at least 24 hours for a confirmed gram-negative bacteremia. Patients were divided into two groups: receipt of beta-lactam monotherapy (n = 164) and receipt of a beta-lactam in addition to a single dose of an aminoglycoside (n = 79) within 24 hours of bacteremia onset. The primary endpoint was infection-related 30-day mortality per provider documentation. Key secondary outcomes include incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and time to improvement of AKI. Data were analyzed using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests, student's T test, and descriptive statistics as appropriate. Results: The primary outcome occurred in 13/164 vs 2/79 patients in the monotherapy and combination groups (P = 0.10). Incidence of AKI (14% vs. 12%) and time to recovery from AKI (90 hours; IQR [50 - 133] vs 78 hours; IQR [42 - 128]) were comparable between groups (P = 1.00 and P = 0.73, respectively).

Objective: To determine the medication safety and quality impact of the GEMITH service by evaluating the type and clinical significance of specialist pharmacist interventions. Methods: This was retrospective observational study of clinical interventions made by the GEMITH pharmacist for patients admitted to the service between October 2020 to April 2021. All pharmacist interventions were rated for their clinical significance using the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA) risk classification system. The ratings were undertaken by a panel of three pharmacists that independently assessed the interventions, coming together for final discussion. A narrative analysis of the interventions were derived through group consensus. Results: There was a total of 119 admissions to the GEMITH service, with 132 clinical interventions made by the specialist geriatric pharmacist. The majority (47%) of interventions were considered as low risk interventions, although high- (21%) and extreme-risk (2%) interventions still occurred. The most common type of intervention (32%) involved medication reconciliation. Other intervention types included monitoring recommendations, dosing interventions, and deprescribing suggestions.

Methods: This IRB-approved retrospective cohort study evaluated the difference in the clinical failure rate among patients who received 1 gram or 2 grams of ceftriaxone once daily for documented bacteremia. Clinical failure was defined as a composite of the following: antibiotic escalation, escalation to intensive care, and 30-day readmission due to an infectious cause. Adult patients admitted to Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Valley Stream, LIJ Forest Hills, or LIJ Medical Center in 2022 who received ceftriaxone were reviewed for inclusion. Patients were excluded if they received ceftriaxone for endocarditis or meningitis, had a positive blood culture with a ceftriaxone-resistant pathogen, or received ceftriaxone for less than 72 hours. Results: A total of 128 patients were included in this study. Approximately 46.9% of the participants received a 1 gram dose, while 53.2% received a 2 gram dose. 35.4% of patients in the 2 gram group experienced clinical failure compared to 21.7% in the 1 gram group (P = .08, OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.23-1.11).
