Prenatal and Early Childhood Exposure to Proton Pump Inhibitors and Antibiotics and the Risk of Childhood Cancer: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Background: Our microbiome is established during infancy, a time important for later health and long-term effects. Proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics are regularly prescribed during pregnancy. Both drugs cause microbiome disturbance and have been associated with increased cancer risk in adults, but effects of these drugs on the growing foetus and infant remain understudied.
Aim: The aim of this study is to study the association between prenatal and early life proton pump inhibitor and antibiotics exposure and the risk of childhood cancer.
Methods: This study is a retrospective population-based cohort design, using registry data on all births (n = 722,372) in Sweden between 2006 and 2016, according to the STROBE checklist. For women who had multiple children in the timeframe of the study, only the first child during the time period was included in the cohort. Exposure was defined as either ≥ 1 proton pump inhibitor or antibiotics prescription during pregnancy, or during the first 2 years of life. Outcome was defined as cancer at any time during the follow-up or cancer after the age of 2 years for early life exposure. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios.
Results: In total, 1091 (0.2%) children were diagnosed with malignant cancer during the follow-up. Prenatal exposure to proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics were not associated with an increased risk of cancer. Regarding early life exposure, proton pump inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of cancer at age two or older (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.24-6.06).
Conclusions: We did not find evidence that prenatal proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics were associated with overall childhood cancer. However, proton pump inhibitors during early life were associated with an increased risk of childhood cancer, but indication on drug use was not available and confounding by indication may be present.
期刊介绍:
Drug Safety is the official journal of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance. The journal includes:
Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on epidemiology, clinical features, prevention and management of adverse effects of individual drugs and drug classes.
In-depth benefit-risk assessment of adverse effect and efficacy data for a drug in a defined therapeutic area.
Systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies in disciplines such as pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, pharmacology and toxicology, and pharmacogenomics.
Editorials and commentaries on topical issues.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Drug Safety Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
