PG - e14228 LID - 10.1111/ctr.14228 [doi] AB - There are limited real-world data available regarding adverse events (AEs) of immunosuppressants. We utilized the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2018 to perform a retrospective database analysis. We analyzed AE reports due to the individual agents tacrolimus, sirolimus, or everolimus and compared reporting odds ratios of the mTOR inhibitors to tacrolimus. The mTOR inhibitors arm had 1282 reports with 4176 AEs, while the tacrolimus arm had a total of 7587 reports with 20 940 individual AEs. mTOR inhibitors had significantly higher incidences of cardiovascular (ROR 1.95, 95% CI 1.70, 2.23), dermatologic (ROR 1.34, 95% CI 1.04, 1.73), endocrine (ROR 1.52, 95% CI 1.26, 1.82), gastrointestinal (ROR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01, 1.30), infectious disease (ROR 1.35, 95% 1.20, 1.52), musculoskeletal (ROR 1.39, 95% CI 1.13, 1.70), pulmonary (ROR 3.46, 95% 2.97, 4.03), renal (ROR 1.27, 95% CI 1.10, 1.46), and vascular AEs (ROR 3.10, 95% CI 2.14, 4.49). Across every organ type, mTOR inhibitors had greater cardiovascular AEs compared to tacrolimus, specifically in arteriosclerosis, heart failure, hypotension, tachycardia, chest pain, edema, and pericardial disorders. mTOR inhibitors may be associated with higher cardiovascular AEs. Further investigation is required to determine the potential mechanism of this effect. CI - (c) 2021 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
