Abstract

Objective: Intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the most commonly used emergency treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) attacks and the risk of adverse effects is high due to frequent use. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between adverse effects that can lead to severe morbidity and possible pharmaceutic and/or physiologic causes. Materials and Methods: This study included patients with clinically definite MS who underwent IVMP treatment between 2010-2018. The corticosteroid treatment dose and duration, demographic characteristics, laboratory findings and adverse effect profiles of the patients were examined. Results: The medical records of 390 patients (F/M=294/96) with follow-up were evaluated retrospectively. Eleven (F/M=8/3) patients who developed severe complications after IVMP were detected. The drug infusion was ceased in two patients due to severe allergic reactions or tachyarrhythmia. One patient with severe tachycardia and two patients with corticosteroid-induced allergy received IVMP therapy along with alternative treatment and observation methods. In nine patients, avascular bone necrosis (AVN) developed after the treatment. AVN was multifocal in six patients and monofocal in three patients. The most frequently affected localization was the femoral head (six patients), followed by the tibia and talus. Only one patient had a high and repeated-dose (42 g total) drug use. Two patients received single-dose IVMP treatment. Conclusion: In our study, the treatment-related complications of patients diagnosed as having clinical definite MS and receiving IVMP were defined and it was thought that they might not be related to drug dose and duration.

Özet

Amaç: İntravenöz metilprednizolon (IVMP) tedavisi multipl skleroz (MS) ataklarında en sık başvurulan acil tedavi şeklidir ve sık kullanımı nedeniyle yan etkigörülme riski yüksektir. Çalışmamızın amacı ağır morbiditeye yol açabilecek yan etkilerin olası farmasötik ve/veya fizyolojik sebeplerle ilişkisini incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 2010-2018 tarihleri arasında klinik kesin MS (KKMS) tanısı ile takip edilen ve IVMP tedavisi alan hastalar dahil edildi.Hastaların kortikosteroid (KS) tedavi doz ve süreleri, demografik özellikleri, laboratuvar bulguları ve yan etki profilleri incelendi.Bulgular: Takipleri sürdürülen 390 (K/E=294/96) hastanın dosyası retrospektif olarak incelendi. IVMP sonrası ağır komplikasyon gelişen 11 (K/E=8/3) hastasaptandı. İki hastada şiddetli alerjik reaksiyonlar veya taşiaritmiler nedeniyle ilaç infüzyonu durdurulmak zorunda kalındı. Bir hasta şiddetli taşikardi ve 2 hastaKS ajanlara bağlı alerji nedeniyle IVMP tedavisini alternatif tedavi ve gözlem yöntemlerinin eşliğinde alabildiler. Hastalardan 9’unda tedavi sonrasında avaskülerkemik nekrozu (AVN) geliştiği, bu hastaların 6’sında AVN’nin multifokal, üçünde ise monofokal geliştiği görüldü. En sık etkilenen lokalizasyon femur başıydı (9hastanın 6’sı), bunu tibia ve talus takip etmekteydi. Sadece 1 hastada yüksek ve tekrar dozda (toplam 42 gr) ilaç kullanımı vardı. İki hasta bir kez IVMP tedavisialmıştı.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda KKMS tanılı ve IVMP alan hastaların tedavi nedeniyle gelişen komplikasyonları tanımlandı ve bunların ilaç dozu ve süresi ile ilişkiliolmayabileceği düşünüldü.
