Bevacizumab-induced proteinuria and its association with antihypertensive drugs: A retrospective cohort study using a Japanese administrative database

Proteinuria is a major side-effect of the anti-tumor drug bevacizumab, although its incidence and risk factors in the real world are still unclear. Although renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are used clinically to prevent proteinuria, their efficacy remains unclear. The aim of the pres...

Description
Summary:Proteinuria is a major side-effect of the anti-tumor drug bevacizumab, although its incidence and risk factors in the real world are still unclear. Although renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are used clinically to prevent proteinuria, their efficacy remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to reveal the incidence and risk factors of bevacizumab-induced proteinuria and examine the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs in preventing proteinuria. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Hospital Organization Clinical Data Archives and Medical Information Analysis Databank. Hospitalized patients who received bevacizumab between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2019, were included. The study outcome was proteinuria within 12 months of bevacizumab administration. Patient characteristics, laboratory tests, and medications were compared between patients with and without proteinuria using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Among the 2,458 patients, 27% developed proteinuria after bevacizumab administration. Nursing dependence (odds ratio [OR], 2.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-3.05; P
