Previous research identified an increased risk of incident psychosis with prescription amphetamines. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of dose levels of prescription amphetamines on the risk of this rare but serious adverse outcome.METHODSA case-control study using electronic health records was conducted to compare the odds of incident psychosis or mania with past-month exposure to prescription amphetamines. Case subjects were patients ages 16-35 hospitalized at McLean Hospital for incident psychosis or mania between 2005 and 2019. Control subjects were patients with an initial psychiatric hospitalization for other reasons, most commonly depression and/or anxiety. Amphetamine doses were converted to dextroamphetamine equivalents and divided into terciles. Secondary analyses evaluated the odds of psychosis or mania with methylphenidate use.RESULTSAmong 1,374 case subjects and 2,748 control subjects, the odds of psychosis and mania were increased for individuals with past-month prescription amphetamine use compared with no use (adjusted odds ratio=2.68, 95% CI=1.90-3.77). A dose-response relationship was observed; high doses of amphetamines (>30 mg dextroamphetamine equivalents) were associated with 5.28-fold increased odds of psychosis or mania. Past-month methylphenidate use was not associated with increased odds of psychosis or mania compared with no use (adjusted odds ratio=0.91, 95% CI=0.54-1.55).CONCLUSIONSAlthough use of hospitalized control subjects excludes individuals with less severe disease, leading to selection bias, the study results suggest that caution should be exercised when prescribing high doses of amphetamines, with regular screening for symptoms of psychosis or mania.","PeriodicalId":7656,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"52 1","pages":"appiajp20230329"},"PeriodicalIF":17.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diseases and health-related events enriched during clozapine use were identified, adjusting for disease severity. The incidence and recurrence of ADEs over years of clozapine use, their effect on clozapine discontinuation and deaths, and their pharmacogenetics were studied.RESULTSMedian follow-up time after clozapine initiation was 12.7 years. Across 2,157 diseases and health-related events, 27 were enriched during clozapine use, falling into five disease categories: gastrointestinal hypomotility, seizures, pneumonia, other acute respiratory tract infections, and tachycardia, along with a heterogeneous group including neutropenia and type 2 diabetes, among others. Cumulative incidence estimates for ileus (severe gastrointestinal hypomotility) and pneumonia were 5.3% and 29.5%, respectively, 20 years after clozapine initiation. Both events were significantly associated with increased mortality among clozapine users (ileus: odds ratio=4.5; pneumonia: odds ratio=2.8). Decreased genotype-predicted CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 activities were associated with higher pneumonia risk.CONCLUSIONSClozapine-induced ileus and pneumonia were notably more frequent than has previously been reported and were associated with increased mortality. Two CYP genes influenced pneumonia risk.
