Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To quantify the role of drugs and other factors in the etiology of agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

BACKGROUND:

Agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia are rare but serious blood diseases that can be caused by drugs and other environmental factors. In 1980, there were only limited quantitative estimates of the risk between various exposures, particularly drugs, and the two dyscrasias. The data were collected in the IAAAS, a multicenter population-based case-control study conducted from 1980 to 1986 in eight regions. The study was funded by a pharmaceutical company to investigate a single hypothesis, but information was obtained on all drugs and on other factors, enabling a general investigation of the dyscrasias.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study was for retrospective data analysis only. Standard case-control methods were used. In most instances, multivariate analysis was used to control confounding, especially by simultaneous use of other causal drugs. Adverse effects and the relative safety of drugs in relation to the two dyscrasias were documented. Because the IAAAS was population-based, incidence rates were provided directly, and excess risks were estimated for associated drugs. Such quantitative measures of association were generally unavailable. Among the drugs that were analyzed were various categories such as psychotropics, antihistamines, and cardiovascular drugs, and individual drugs such as allopurinol. Factors other than drugs were also evaluated, including exposure to radiation and chemicals such as benzene and insecticides, history of viral infection, and history of allergy and other conditions.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.
