背景:高血压影响25-30%的世界人口。氢氯噻嗪(HCTZ)是最常用和最便宜的药物之一,但在2018年被标记为非黑色素瘤皮肤癌(NMSC)风险增加的警告。这项研究从高血压性心脏病(HHD)的角度描述了HCTZ和NMSC之间关联的地理差异。
方法:我们进行了系统的文献检索(PubMed,Embase,临床试验.gov,和临床试验。欧盟)使用PICO/PECO首字母缩略词,包括病例控制,队列,和随机对照试验。我们构建了全球疾病负担(GBD)地区HHD/NMSC的残疾调整生命年(DALY)比率。
结果:在台湾没有发现使用HCTZ的NMSC风险增加,印度,和巴西。在加拿大,风险较小(风险比(HR)/赔率比(OR)≤1.5),但风险显着增加,美国,和韩国。冰岛的风险增加(1.5
2.5,丹麦,荷兰,和澳大利亚。在21个GBD区域中的13个中,HHD与NMSC相比,DALY率超过10倍,相当于全球人口的77.2%。在这13个区域中,没有一个区域与HCTZ相关的NMSC的风险增加。
结论:尽管来自许多国家的信息有限,我们的数据表明HCTZ和NMSC之间的关联存在很大的地理差异.在所有GBD地区,除了澳大拉西亚,与NMSC相比,HHD构成超过5倍的DALY率。在避免使用HCTZ作为抗高血压治疗的一部分之前,应考虑这种不成比例的风险。
BACKGROUND: Hypertension affects 25-30% of the world population. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is among the most used and cheapest medications but was in 2018 labeled with a warning stating increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This study describes geographical differences in the association between HCTZ and NMSC in a perspective of hypertensive heart disease (HHD).
METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase, Clinicaltrial.gov, and Clinicaltrial.eu) using PICO/PECO acronyms including case-control, cohort, and randomized controlled trials. We constructed a rate ratio of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for HHD/NMSC in global burden of disease (GBD) regions.
RESULTS: No increased risk of NMSC with use of HCTZ was found in Taiwan, India, and Brazil. A small (hazard ratio (HR)/odds ratio (OR) ≤ 1.5) but significantly increased risk was seen in Canada, USA, and Korea. An increased risk (1.5 < HR/OR ≤ 2.5) in Iceland, Spain, and Japan and a highly increased risk (HR/OR > 2.5 in UK, Denmark, Netherlands, and Australia. HHD is associated with a more than 10-fold DALY rate compared with NMSC in 13 of 21 GBD regions corresponding 77.2% of the global population. In none of these 13 regions were there an increased risk of HCTZ-associated NMSC.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite limited information from many countries, our data point to large geographical differences in the association between HCTZ and NMSC. In all GBD regions, except Australasia, HHD constitutes a more than 5-fold DALY rate compared to NMSC. This disproportionate risk should be considered before avoiding HCTZ as part of the antihypertensive treatment.
