Abstract
BackgroundTissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is recommended as the preferred thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to explore tPA-related adverse events (AEs) reported in the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), assess the potential safety of three preferred tPA therapies for treating AMI, and provide guidance for selecting tPA for prehospital thrombolysis.MethodFour algorithms, including ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and MGPS, were used to quantify the signals of Tenecteplase, Reteplase, and Alteplase related AEs and compare the differential degrees of the three tPA-associated AEs in the actual data.ResultWe detected 18 signals of Tenecteplase-induced AE, 29 signals of Reteplase-induced AE, and 22 signals of Alteplase-induced AE. Among the three drugs, Tenecteplase had the highest signal intensity for intracranial hemorrhage-related AE, followed by Alteplase. Besides, Reteplase had the highest signal intensity for procedure-related AE and Alteplase had the highest signal intensity for arrhythmia-related AE. The time-onset analysis indicates that we should be vigilant for AEs, especially within the first week and the first 1–2 days after medication.ConclusionThis study identified and compared the signals of AE related to Tenecteplase, Reteplase, and Alteplase in AMI patients.
