The purpose of the study is to determine whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a medication used to treat gastric conditions, increase the risk of hospitalization for community-acquired pneumonia (HCAP).
The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using administrative health databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada, the US, and the UK. Cohort entry will be defined by the initiation of an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, with follow-up until hospitalization for pneumonia or end of follow-up (6 months). The results from the separate sites will be combined using a statistical approach called meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the risk of HCAP with PPIs.

We have conducted a cohort study of users of omeprazole and H(2) antagonists in Italy to investigate whether the peroral use of these drugs may be associated with an increased incidence of ocular disorders leading to loss of vision. We have used the Sistema Informativo Sanitario Regionale (SISR database) in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia to identify all subjects who received at least one prescription for cimetidine, famotidine, niperotidine, nizatidine, omeprazole, ranitidine or roxatidine between 1 January 1991 and 31 December 1994. We have identified all hospital admissions for serious vascular or inflammatory ocular disorders following any such prescription, reviewed and validated all medical records. There were 71,108 users of any of the study drugs, contributing a total of 101,827 person years of observation. Seven cases of serious eye disorders were identified, giving an annual incidence rate of 7/100,000 persons. By comparison to non-users, the incidence rate ratio for current users of all of the study drugs together was 0, with a 95% confidence interval of 0 to 2.1. By comparison to non-users, the incidence rate ratio for past users was 0.47 (95% CI: 0.06-2.4). Our data are consistent with previous studies and add weight to the general impression of the ocular safety of these drugs.

BACKGROUND/AIMSH2-receptor antagonists are widely used for the therapy of peptic disease, since they ensure a protracted and intense inhibition of gastric acidity. Niperotidine (piperonyl-ranitidine) is a new H2 blocking agent recently proposed for clinical use.METHODSTwenty-five cases of acute hepatitis associated with the use of niperotidine were reported in Italy between March and August 1995. Intercurrent viral infections, recent drug and alcohol consumption and blood transfusions were excluded as causes.RESULTSAll patients showed an increase in the parameters of liver cell injury and the clinical symptoms of acute hepatitis. After withdrawal of the drug, all patients showed a good outcome, except one who developed a fulminant hepatitis and died from digestive tract bleeding.CONCLUSIONSThe absence of other causes of acute liver injury suggests that the observed liver injury may be a niperotidine-adverse reaction. Moreover, the lack of a relationship between the dose of the drug and the degree of liver damage, the variable latent period and the rarity and unpredictability of the injury are suggestive of an idiosyncratic reaction.

The effect of the H2-antagonist niperotidine on intragastric acidity in healthy subjects undergoing 24-hour pH-monitoring.

The effects of niperotidine, a novel histamine H2-receptor antagonist, on nocturnal gastric acid secretion in healthy volunteers, have been investigated. Twenty subjects were randomly assigned to the placebo (M:F = 7:3; Age 34 +/- SD3 yrs) or to the niperotidine-treated group (M:F = 7:3; Age: 37 +/- 6 yrs) in which 460 mg were administered at 22.00. Intragastric acidity was assessed by means of 24-hour pH-measurement (10.00-22.00) using sensitive antimony monocrystalline electrodes. The percentage of daytime gastric acidity (prandial and interprandial) was similar in both groups (median; interquartile range): placebo group 87.5; 69.5-90.1 vs niperotidine 85.8; 59-89.1. Niperotidine increased the intragastric pH during the period 22.00-10.00. The percentage of time above pH 4 was higher in the treated group (28.4; 14.8-50.7% vs 7.4; 1.4-10.7%; p less than 0.02). The duration of niperotidine action was 5 to 7 hours. The nocturnal pH frequency curve after niperotidine was shifted toward alkaline values with a decrease of acidity in the pH range 1-2 (p less than 0.04). We conclude that a bedtime dose of niperotidine inhibits nocturnal gastric acid secretion in healthy subjects.
