摘要: Background and objectives Regulatory agencies warn about the risk of AKI with levetiracetam use on basis information from case reports. We conducted this study to determine whether new versus nonuse is associated a higher AKI. Design, setting, participants, & measurements This was population-based retrospective cohort adults epilepsy in Ontario, Canada. Patients who received outpatient prescription for between January 1, 2004 March 2017 were matched two nonusers stage CKD, recorded seizure prior 90 days, logit propensity score use. The primary outcome hospital encounter (emergency department visit or hospitalization) within 30 days entry. Secondary outcomes 180 change concentration serum creatinine. assessed using health care diagnosis codes. evaluated creatinine subpopulation laboratory measurements. Results 3980 users 7960 (mean age 55 years, 51% women). Levetiracetam not significantly (13 [0.33%] events 21 [0.26%] [odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 0.62 2.47]). Similarly, there no significant association (odds 0.70; 0.43 1.13). did differ nonusers.
