Abstract
BackgroundThere is currently conflicting evidence of the association between the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and acute pancreatitis. The SSRI fluoxetine has been suspected to be the driver of this serious outcome. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the potential association between fluoxetine use and the occurrence of acute pancreatitis.
Methods
We conducted a nationwide cohort study using Danish register-based data from 1996 to 2016. The exposed group were new users of fluoxetine (1-year washout). The control subjects were new users of citalopram or SSRIs, excluding fluoxetine. The outcome was an incident diagnosis of acute pancreatitis with a 5-year washout. We used an intention-to-treat approach following patients for a maximum of 6 months. Cox regression analyses were performed, estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for age/sex, comorbidities and co-medications, using propensity score adjustment and matchi ng.
Results
In the propensity score-matched analyses, 61 783 fluoxetine users were included. The incidence rates among users of fluoxetine and other SSRIs were 5.33 (3.05–8.66) and 5.36 (3.06–8.70) per 10 000 person-years, respectively. No increased risk of acute pancreatitis was identified following fluoxetine exposure compared with either citalopram [HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.50–2.00) or other SSRIs (0.76, 0.40–1.46).
Conclusions
Fluoxetine use was not associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis compared with citalopram or other SSRIs. The absolute risk of acute pancreatitis was low and did not vary between different SSRIs. Further research is needed to determine whether there is a class effect on the risk of acute pancreatitis.
