Abstract:

AIM: To study the real-world incidence and related factors of liver dysfunction caused by voriconazole in hospitalized patients. METHODS: The active monitoring system for adverse drug reactions was used to screened inpatients that used voriconazole from January to June 2018 in our hospital. The incidence of liver dysfunction caused by voriconazole was analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 251 patients, liver dysfunction rate was 12.35% and mild to moderate liver dysfunction was 87.09%. Spearman correlation coefficients and binary logistic regression analysis showed that the liver dysfunction rate was positively related to voriconazole's trough concentration (P=0.000; P=0.001). The incidence of liver dysfunction was significantly increased (P=0.000) when the plasma trough concentration was greater than 5 mg /L.CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation between voriconazole's liver dysfunction and trough concentration. In clinical application, it is essential to pay attention to the inpatient whose plasma trough concentration greater than 5 mg/L in order to reduce the risk of liver dysfunction.
