Abstract

Clozapine is a psychiatric medication that may cause various side effects, some of them may be serious and fatal adverse effects, such as severe neutropenia, agranulocytosis, lymphocytopenia, myocarditis, and orthostatic hypotension, that have been associated to an increased risk of death. This study aimed to evaluate the serious and potentially fatal adverse effects of clozapine toxicity in psychic patients at mental health care hospitals in the Southern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By using a survey, data were retrospectively collected from 193 adult psychic patient reports who have been administrated clozapine with regular follow-ups, in mental health hospitals in the Southern region of Saudi Arabia between 2019 and 2021. Then, these data are recorded and analyzed Statistically using SPSS software, with suitable tests, and predetermined statistical significance (p-value) of less than 0.001. The occurrence of agranulocytosis, neutropenia, hypotension, and seizures showed a highly significant correlation with higher doses of clozapine administration (i.e. p<0.001). Similarly, agranulocytosis and neutropenia were significantly associated with the occurrence of both hypotension and seizures (i.e. p<0.001). The collected data in this study showed an increased incidence of agranulocytosis and neutropenia associated with clozapine-treated psychic patients in the Southern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which warrants further clinical studies to find this correlation.

对沙特阿拉伯王国南部地区精神保健医院精神疾病患者氯氮平所致毒性的评估
氯氮平是一种精神科药物,可能会引起各种副作用,其中一些可能是严重和致命的不良反应,如严重的中性粒细胞减少症、粒细胞减少症、淋巴细胞减少症、心肌炎和正性低血压,这些不良反应与死亡风险增加有关。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯王国南部地区精神卫生保健医院的精神疾病患者因氯氮平中毒而产生的严重且可能致命的不良反应。研究人员通过调查的方式,回顾性地收集了沙特阿拉伯南部地区精神卫生保健医院在 2019 年至 2021 年期间接受氯氮平治疗并定期随访的 193 名成年精神疾病患者的报告数据。然后,使用 SPSS 软件对这些数据进行记录和统计分析,并进行适当的检验,预设统计显著性(P 值)小于 0.001。粒细胞减少症、中性粒细胞减少症、低血压和癫痫发作的发生与氯氮平用药剂量的增加呈高度显著相关性(即 P<0.001)。本研究收集的数据显示,在沙特阿拉伯王国南部地区,接受氯氮平治疗的精神病患者粒细胞减少和中性粒细胞减少的发生率增加,因此有必要开展进一步的临床研究,以发现这种相关性。
