Titel Title Database processing for identification of concomitant drug frequencies in a forensic material positive for antidepressant drugs

Författare Author Niklas Björn

Sammanfattning Abstract This article presents a study conducted on data containing drug concentrations. The data was obtained from femoral venous blood samples collected at medico legal autopsies in Sweden. Cases positive for antidepressant drugs were scrutinized and divided in to two groups for 15 antidepressant drugs: B-cases, where the cause of death was intoxication with more than one drug detected in the blood sample. C-cases, where the cause of death was NOT intoxication and at least one drug (the antidepressant) was detected in the blood sample. This data was then processed to find frequencies of concomitant drugs taken together with the antidepressant drugs. Frequencies of the most common concomitant drugs were then compared between B-cases and C-cases for each antidepressant drug. This revealed that the drugs dextropropoxyphene, ethanol, codeine, , paracetamol, and were signifcantly more common as concomitant drugs in B-cases (intoxications) than in C-cases (non-intoxications). With regards to unknown interactions the most interesting combinations were: Propiomazine with , venlafaxine, citalopram or fluoxetine; Paracetamol with ; Flunitrazepam with mirtazapine, venlafaxine or citalopram; Codeine with mirtazapine or sertraline. These combinations should be further investigated.

1. Abstract This article presents a study conducted on data containing drug concentrations. The data was obtained from femoral venous blood samples collected at medico legal autopsies in Sweden. Cases positive for antidepressant drugs were scrutinized and divided in to two groups for 15 antidepressant drugs: B-cases, where the cause of death was intoxication with more than one drug detected in the blood sample. C-cases, where the cause of death was NOT intoxication and at least one drug (the antidepressant) was detected in the blood sample. This data was then processed to find frequencies of concomitant drugs taken together with the antidepressant drugs. Frequencies of the most common concomitant drugs were then compared between B-cases and C-cases for each antidepressant drug. This revealed that the drugs dextropropoxyphene, ethanol, codeine, flunitrazepam, paracetamol, propiomazine and alimemazine were signifcantly more common as concomitant drugs in B- cases (intoxications) than in C-cases (non-intoxications). With regards to unknown interactions the most interesting combinations were: Propiomazine with mirtazapine, venlafaxine, citalopram or fluoxetine; Paracetamol with paroxetine; Flunitrazepam with mirtazapine, venlafaxine or citalopram; Codeine with mirtazapine or sertraline. These combinations should be further investigated.

3. Introduction

3.1. Background Access to parts of a nationwide database for forensic pathology and forensic toxicology was available at the department of clinical pharmacology, Linköping University, Linköping. This database contained drug concentration data obtained from femoral venous blood samples collected at medico legal autopsies in Sweden. The concentration data is accompanied with, among other information, the cause of death and the manner of death [1]. All handling and processing of the blood samples of medico legal autopsies are strictly standardized at all forensic pathology units according to guidelines set by the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine. During the period January 1992 to June 2005, 55 042 samples were screened for substances, including antidepressant drugs. The data from the samples positive for antidepressant drugs formed the basis for the article Reis et al. [2], and constitutes the base for the present project.

3.1.1. Assignment The aim was to process the antidepressant concentration data for further findings. More specifically, to investigate frequencies of concomitant drugs and combination of concomitant drugs used together with different antidepressant drugs. Subsequently, concentrations of antidepressant drugs were scrutinized for concentration deviations that could be linked to concomitant drugs detected in the samples. This might lead to proposals of unknown drug interactions that should be further studied or strengthen the evidence for known drug interactions.

3.1.2. Data The data used in this project included all cases with a positive detection of one of 15 different antidepressant drugs. These cases were divided into 1 of 3 distinct groups for each antidepressant drug detected in the blood sample. This division was made in the former study [2] were every single case was systematically investigated and divided in to these groups. All in accordance with the Swedish version of International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)[3], together with the death diagnosis made by the pathologist. Further, cases that gave rise to confusion or uncertainties as well as unreasonably high or low concentrations of the antidepressant were excluded. The three groups that were formed as in the previous study were denominated A-cases, B-cases, and C-cases: A-cases: cases dead by intoxication, with only one single drug detected in the blood sample. Influence by was allowed up to 0.1%. B-cases: cases dead by intoxication, with more than one drug detected in the blood sample. Influence by alcohol was tolerated at all concentrations. C-cases: cases where the cause of death was NOT intoxication and at least one drug was detected in the blood sample.

2

This means that a case can only be present in one A-case group. However, a case with more than one antidepressant drug present could be represented in B-case groups for different antidepressant drugs or in C-case groups for different antidepressant drugs.

3.1.3. Antidepressant drugs The most common theory of depressions is the monoamine theory, proposed by Schildkraut in 1965. The theory states that a depression is caused by a deficit of the monoamine neurotransmitters, serotonin and noradrenaline, at specific sites in the brain. The base for this theory is derived from the clinical effect of the drugs used to treat depressions. Antidepressant drugs induce in various different ways an increase of the amount of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft between two neurons. This is supposed to improve the mood of the patient. [4]

There are a many types of antidepressant drugs, and below comes a short introduction of the types of antidepressant drugs relevant to this project and brief theories behind the drug actions.

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) increase the amount of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft by inhibiting the reuptake of both serotonin and noradrenaline from the synaptic cleft. These were the first generation of antidepressant drugs [4]. The antidepressant effect is good but side effects are common and sometimes serious/life-threatening. Even today, the more severe the depression is, the more likely the patient is to be treated with TCAs. Seizures and ventricular arrhythmia account for the mortality associated with TCA overdoses [5].

Selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants that are more prone to inhibit serotonin reuptake than noradrenaline reuptake from the synaptic cleft. These antidepressants have fewer side effects than TCAs and are harder to overdose. [4, 6]

Serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are more selective for inhibition of noradrenaline reuptake. SNRIs are considered safer in overdose than TCAs [4].

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase which regulates serotonin and noradrenaline concentrations. MAOIs are used less than other antidepressants due to their adverse effects and interactions [4, 7]. MAOIs should not be used in combination with other serotonin enhancing drugs, e.g. other antidepressant drugs, because of the increased risk for serotonin syndrome [8]. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening syndrome that can occur by therapeutic use of serotonergic drugs alone or by drug interaction between two serotonergic drugs [9].

Tetracyclic antidepressants (TeCAs) are a group of antidepressants named after their chemical structure in the same manner as TCAs. Mianserin and Mirtazapine act by blocking adrenergic and serotonergic receptors which leads to an enhanced release of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline. is another TeCA it works as a noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor. [4] 3

Antidepressants can be used as treatments for other conditions than depressions for example anxiety, neuropathic pain, anorexia, bulimia and social phobia [4, 10]. The different antidepressant drugs display a wide variety of side effects and the risk for life threatening effects differ [4, 8].

3.1.4. Drug interactions Drugs in general can interact with other drugs and the more drugs a patient has taken the higher is the risk for unwanted side effects due to interactions. There are two general types of drug interactions [4]: Pharmacodynamic interaction: the effect of a drug is changed without a change in concentration of that drug. Pharmacokinetic interaction: the concentration of a drug is changed.

Drug interactions can lead to intoxications and even to death. In this study there was information about the drugs that were taken prior to death, evidenced by post mortal blood concentrations. This can be used to propose combinations of drugs that might have underlying drug interactions.

3.2. Purpose The main purpose of this project was to compare previously defined B-cases and C-cases to find frequencies of concomitant drugs and combinations of concomitant drugs that could be linked to intoxications with antidepressant drugs.

3.3. Clinical relevance Depression is a growing health burden estimated to be one of the leading causes of mental and health disability by 2030 [11]. Information about drugs used together with antidepressant drugs is highly relevant for the safety of drug users, and for the subscribing doctors. This study gives insight into poly-drug use and the prevalence of different drugs used in combination with antidepressant drugs. The dangers associated with poly-drug use is hard to interpret and common in intoxications [12]. Also the data in this project give information from doses higher than therapeutic levels [2]. High toxic doses are not studied in human trials. Drugs considered safe in combination might in high doses show different tendencies. With all this in mind it is easy to understand why extended knowledge about antidepressant drugs and their drug interactions is essential to future healthcare.

4. Process The project started with the development of a structured timetable, see figure 1. This timetable was followed without any major changes.

Figure 1: Timetable for the project.

The first part of the project was to get familiar with the data. This was followed by anonymization of the data so that work could be conducted without the possibility of leaking classified information. After this all groups where extracted, divided and stored. The number of cases in each group were compared with the number of cases in the previous article [2]. Some small differences were found and those were linked to human errors made in the former study. This was thoroughly discussed with the supervisor.

Concomitant drug frequencies and concomitant drug combination frequencies were calculated. With this in hand statistical analyzes could be conducted. Lots of focus was put on making sure the numbers were correct and how to do the statistical analyzes. A couple of times tasks performed earlier had to be remade because of initial programming errors. All in all the project went fine and always forward. Regular meetings were held with the supervisor for asking questions and to check in with direction to continue the project.

The halftime meeting was held week 13, to follow up what had been done and how to direct future work. No major changes were made and the project could continue as planned. In the end of the project time was only spent on the report. However, sometimes earlier steps in the timetable had to remade to obtain more or different information.

5. Methods MATLAB® a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming was used for this project. Functions and scripts were specifically designed for all different parts handling the data, both for extraction/handling of data and for calculations conducted on the extracted data.

5.1. Extract data Per definition the A-cases have no other substances present and are therefore not interesting when researching drug combinations and drug interactions. Hence, only B-cases and C-cases were extracted for the 15 different antidepressant drugs; i.e. 15 groups of B-cases and 15 groups of C-cases. One B-case group and one C-case group will have the same antidepressant drug in common, this antidepressant drug will be referred to as the index-antidepressant. The total number of cases in each group and the 15 antidepressant drugs are found in Table 1. The information of concomitant drugs detected in each case was also extracted. Classification codes from ICD-9 [3] for the cause of death and the manner of death were used to exclude unreliable cases, for codes that lead to exclusion of C-cases see Table 2.

Table 1: Shows the different antidepressant drugs, type of antidepressant, number of B-cases, number of C-cases, total number of cases for each antidepressant, total number, number of unique B-cases and number of unique C-cases.

Table 2: Classification codes for the manner of death and the cause of death that lead to exclusion of C-cases, where death by incapacitation and intoxication could not be ruled out. Table by courtesy of Reis et al. [2].

The index-antidepressants were also combined into two total groups; all B-cases and all C-cases. This serves a purpose by giving a more general view over concomitant drug use in cases positive for antidepressant drugs. Cases that were present in more than one of the index-antidepressant groups that were combined were only used once in the new group. For these two groups the concentration of the index-antidepressants is not interesting, only the presence of them is relevant.

5.2. Parent drug and metabolite Drugs are metabolized to different extent. In this study parent drugs or main metabolites were viewed as an indication of the parent drug in question. The indication of a drug was named by the parent drug, but includes the following three possible findings in the blood sample: parent drug, metabolite or parent drug and metabolite. Parent drugs and their respective main metabolites are listed in Table 3. The antidepressant amitriptyline has an active metabolite which is sold as an antidepressant drug by itself. Therefore, these two were not seen as the same drug.

7

Table 3: Shows index-antidepressants, the most common concomitant drugs and their respective main metabolites.

For the index-antidepressants the parent drug had to be present in the blood sample for a case to be included in that index-antidepressants group. Concentrations were not used for the concomitant drugs, they were only seen as present or not present. This enabled both inclusion of cases were a concomitant drug was indicated but the concentration was not measurable, and the possibility of combining parent drugs and metabolites.

5.3. Frequencies MATLAB® scripts were made to go through the data case by case for each index-antidepressants B-case and C-case group. While doing this all detected substances used by the cases in the group were noted and the frequencies of them were calculated. Simultaneously, different double and triple combinations of concomitant substances were detected and the frequencies of these combinations were calculated. The result from this is shown in frequency tables, where the number of cases in the group, the total number of different substances in the group and the number of cases with 1, 2 or 3 substances in addition to the index-antidepressant (or in addition to all index-antidepressants in the two combined groups). This gives an idea of how common it is to mix drugs. Median concentration of the index-antidepressant was calculated and tabulated. For the C-cases the 8 median concentration was also calculated for the cases with at least one concomitant substance and for the cases without any concomitant substances. These two groups were compared to see if there was any significant difference between the concentrations in the two groups, see 5.4.6. Comparisons of concentrations.

When analyzing the frequencies of concomitant drugs the 15 most common substances were considered. When combinations of concomitant drugs used together with the index-antidepressant were analyzed the 20 most common combinations were considered. The combinations are either consisting of 2 or 3 drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant. Combinations of more than three drugs were possible but very rare, therefore these were not analyzed.

5.4. Statistical analysis Differences with a p < 0.05 were α = 0.05 was considered significant.

5.4.1. Contingency tables Statistical analyses were made to find concomitant drugs that were statistically more common in B-cases than in C-cases or statistically more common in C-cases than in B-cases. Contingency tables were formed for all concomitant drugs that were present in at least 10% of the B-cases or C-cases. Figure 2 shows both a common contingency table and an example of how they were formed in this project. Contingency tables are not displayed but the numbers for a, b, c and d are shown were needed.

Figure 2: Contingency tables, on the left a common example and to the right an example of a contingency table in this project. a: the number of B-cases where the concomitant drug was present. b: the number of C-cases where the concomitant drug was present. c: the number of B-cases where the concomitant drug was NOT present. d: the number of C-cases where the concomitant the drug was NOT present.

5.4.2. Fisher´s exact test Fisher’s exact test was conducted on all contingency tables for investigating if there were differences between the variables in the rows and columns of the contingency tables. Fisher’s exact test is suitable when small numbers could be present in any of the rows or columns. Other methods like a Chi squared test would have to be corrected if numbers are small, this is not the case with Fisher’s exact test. [13]

Corrections for multiple tests were performed with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, see 5.4.5. Correction for multiple comparisons.

5.4.3. Odds Ratio This project is a case-control study and from the contingency tables odds ratios (OR) can be calculated to give information about if the odds of an outcome is higher or lower if an exposure is present [14]. The formula for calculating the odds ratio and its confidence interval is given below [13].

The odds ratio is given by:

The standard error (SE) of the log odds ratio is given by: √

( ) The confidence interval (CI) is given by: note that N(x) is a value taken from the normal distribution

An OR = 1 means that the odds of the outcome (intoxication) is the same for both the exposed (concomitant drug present) and the non-exposed (concomitant drug NOT present). For the OR to be statistically significant the CI should not contain 1. If the OR > 1, then the odds for the outcome is higher for the exposed group. If the OR < 1, then the odds for the outcome is lower for the exposed group, a somewhat protective effect is seen. [14]

5.4.4. Relative Risk In a case-control study should the relative risk (RR) not be directly calculated and often it is completely wrong to calculate it [15]. However there are methods for deriving the RR from the OR (and the corresponding CI). This can be done if control groups were properly derived and by using some auxiliary information. The method used for this can be seen below [16].

Probability of diseased among the exposed:

Conversion of odds ratio to relative risk:

This conversion has flaws and some argue that it is not proper to do [17]. This conversion might give values that still not should be viewed as risks. I argue that it still is appropriate to do because a RR is much easier to understand compared to an OR [15]. The interesting is if the RR and the associated CI is separated from 1 not how high or low the actual RR values are.

An RR = 1 means that the risk of the outcome (intoxication) is the same for both the exposed (concomitant drug present) and the non-exposed (concomitant drug NOT present). For the RR to be statistically significant the CI should not contain 1. If the RR > 1, the risk for the outcome is higher for the exposed group. If the RR < 1, then the risk for the outcome is lower for the exposed group, a somewhat protective effect is seen. [14]

Specific explanation for the present project: RR > 1 means that death by intoxication is more likely if the index-antidepressant is taken in combination with the concomitant drug in question, compared to when the concomitant drug is not taken. An RR < 1 indicates the 10 opposite, that death by intoxication is less likely if the index-antidepressant is taken in combination with the concomitant drug in question, compared to when the concomitant drug is not taken.

5.4.5. Correction for multiple comparisons Correction for multiple tests was done with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. The procedure was conducted separately on all index-antidepressants or group of index-antidepressants studied. The p-values from Fisher’s exact test on the most common concomitant drugs were corrected. This controls the amount of type I errors (false discoveries). [18]

Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, as explained in:

 For n tests, rank corresponding p-values in ascending order , p(1) < … < p(n)

 Let k be the largest i for which is true

 Tests corresponding to p(1) … p(k) can be considered significant at level α

 Other tests possibly with p < α but with p > p(k) are not significant

In tables the p-value from Fisher´s exact test has to be lower than the value from Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. This correction applies to the OR/RR results directly because they were calculated from the same data. In RR plots there will be a black horizontal line, if a confidence interval is beneath this line in the plot it is significant, otherwise it is not significant even if the confidence interval does not include 1. So for a drug to be significantly more common in one group both the p-value from Fisher´s exact test has to be lower than the value from the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure and the OR/RR confidence interval has to be separated from 1.

5.4.6. Comparisons of concentrations Comparisons of concentrations between two groups were conducted with Mann-Whitney U-test, a non-parametric test for unevenly distributed data.

Concentration comparisons were only made on the index-antidepressants. First comparisons of C-cases with no concomitant drugs were compared with C-cases that have at least one concomitant drug. Secondly comparisons were made within B-cases and C–cases for drugs that were significantly more common (Fisher´s exact test was significant) in B-cases or C-cases. For finding differences in the concentration between cases with a certain concomitant drug compared to cases without that concomitant drug. For example; for index-antidepressant X, the concomitant drug Y was significantly more common in B-cases than C-cases. Then a comparison of index-antidepressant X ´s concentration between B-cases with drug Y and B-cases without drug Y was conducted. Also a comparison of index-antidepressant X ´s concentration between C-cases with drug Y and C-cases without drug Y was conducted.

11

No corrections for multiple comparisons are made for the statistical tests on the concentration differences.

5.5. Known drug interactions The number of known drug-drug interactions is extensive and growing. In Appendix I recognized interactions with index-antidepressants are listed. This was done manually by searching SFINX (Swedish, Finnish, Interaction X-referencing) [19], a drug-drug interaction database. This database is under constant development and these interactions could be found April 4, 2014.

6. Result All relative risk plots are displayed in appendix II. The most common combinations of concomitant drugs are not shown in the results, however they can be found along with all information from the frequency tables in appendix III. Further, results from the statistical analysis including number of cases in each group (a, b, c, d), OR, RR, CI, p-values, Benjamini-Hochberg correction and consentration comparisons are all listed in appendix IV.

6.1. All cases All B-cases consisted of 749 cases and a total of 111 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressants were found. 736 cases had positive detections of drugs in addition to the index-antidepressants. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (found in 47% of the cases), paracetamol (32%), dextropropoxyphene (30%), propiomazine (24%) and diazepam (16%).

All C-cases consisted of 1654 cases and a total of 89 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressants were found. 922 cases had positive detections of drugs in addition to the index-antidepressants. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (27%), diazepam (22%), paracetamol (18%), (15%) and propiomazine (13%).

Comparisons of frequencies of concomitant drugs between all B-cases and all C-cases is displayed a relative risk plot (figure A, appendix II). This plot, p-values and confidence intervals reveals that the drugs dextropropoxyphene, ethanol, codeine, flunitrazepam, paracetamol, propiomazine, alimemazine were signifcantly more common in B-cases (intoxications) than in C-cases (non-intoxications). Dextropropoxyphene was more common than ethanol, paracetamol, propiomazine and alimemazine. Codein was more common than than paracetamol, propiomazine and alimemazine. Furhtermore, flunitrazepam was more common than alimemazine.

6.2. Index-antidepressants and concomitant drugs A summary of the 5 most common concomitant drugs for all B-cases can be seen in Table 4.

12

Table 4: Lists the 5 most common concomitant drugs in ascending order for each index-antidepressant. For the combined group of all B-cases the 10 most common concomitant drugs are listed. The index-antidepressants are listed in no particular order.

Further results for the index-antidepressants fluvoxamine, , maprotiline, moclobemide, nortriptyline and will not be displayed, due to too few cases. However, all the results for these index-antidepressants can be found in the appendices.

6.2.1. Amitriptyline Amitriptyline B-cases consisted of 119 cases and a total of 71 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (56%), paracetamol (28%), dextropropoxyphene (25%), diazepam (23%) and flunitrazepam (18%).

Amitriptyline C-cases consisted of 89 cases and a total of 39 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. 55 cases had positive detections of concomitant drugs. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were diazepam (33%), paracetamol (22%), ethanol (20%), dextropropoxyphene (16%) and (13%). No concentration differences could be seen (p = 0.36) between C-cases with concomitant drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant compared to C-cases without any concomitant drugs.

13

Comparisons of frequencies of concomitant drugs between amitriptyline B-cases and C-cases is displayed in the relative risk plot (figure B, appendix II). Ethanol was significantly more common in B-cases than in C-cases. No changes in the concentration of amitriptyline could be linked to ethanol.

6.2.2. Citalopram Citalopram B-cases consisted of 243 cases and a total of 85 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (48%), dextropropoxyphene (36%), paracetamol (31%), propiomazine (26%) and diazepam (23%).

Citalopram C-cases consisted of 629 cases and a total of 78 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. 363 cases had positive detections of concomitant drugs. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (25%), paracetamol (19%), diazepam (16%), propiomazine (14%) and zopiclone (13%). Concentration differences could be seen (p = 0.03) between C-cases with concomitant drugs compared to C-cases without any concomitant drugs. Median concentration of citalopram was significantly higher for C-cases with concomitant drugs.

Comparisons of frequencies of concomitant drugs between citalopram B-cases and C-cases is displayed in the relative risk plot (figure C, appendix II). Dextropropoxyphene, ethanol, , propiomazine, flunitrazepam, paracetamol, diazepam and alimemazine were all significantly more common in B-cases than in C-cases. Differences in concentration of citalopram for cases with compared to without these drugs could be found for 3 of them: Dextropropoxyphene; B-cases had no differences (p = 0.09), C-cases had higher citalopram concentrations for cases with dextropropoxyphene (p = 0.01). Propiomazine; B-cases had no differences (p = 0.16), C-cases had higher citalopram concentrations for cases with propiomazine (p = 0.01). Flunitrazepam; B-cases had no differences (p = 0.35), C-cases had higher citalopram concentrations for cases with flunitrazepam (p = 0.00). The plot also reveles that dextropropoxyphene was more common than ethanol, propiomazine, flunitrazepam, paracetamol, diazepam and alimemazine. Levomepromazine was more common than paracetamol, diazepam and alimemazine.

6.2.3. Clomipramine Clomipramine B-cases consisted of 107 cases and a total of 76 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were ethanol (40%), paracetamol (31%), dextropropoxyphene (27%) diazepam (23%) and flunitrazepam (14%).

Clomipramine C-cases consisted of 141 cases and a total of 51 different drugs in addition to the index-antidepressant were found. 84 cases had positive detections of concomitant drugs. The 5 most common concomitant drugs were diazepam (29%), ethanol (27%), alimemazine (13%), paracetamol (12%) and dextropropoxyphene (7%). No concentration differences could

14 be seen (p = 0.37) between C-cases with concomitant drugs compared to C-cases without any concomitant drugs.

Comparisons of frequencies of concomitant drugs between clomipramine B-cases and C-cases is displayed in the relative risk plot (figure D, appendix II).

7. Discussion Table 5 presents a compilation of all concomitant drugs that were significantly more common in B-cases (intoxications) than in C-cases (non-intoxications). Note that no concomitant drugs were found to be significantly more common in C-cases than in B-cases.

Of the concomitant drugs significantly more common in “all B-cases” the painkiller paracetamol (e.g. Alvedon®) is the only over the counter drug, a drug found in most homes. The other concomitant drugs require prescriptions and are either / or ; Dextropropoxyphene: e.g. Dexofen®, deregistered, ; Codeine: e.g. Citodon®, analgesic; Flunitrazepam: Rohypnol®, deregistered or Flunitrazepam Mylan®, and ; Propiomazine: Propavan®, sedative; Alimemazine: e.g. Theralen®, drug with unspecific sedative effect. [20]

The concomitant drugs more common in B-cases than in C-cases for the different index-antidepressant were somewhat repetitive and included the drugs seen in the general groups listed above.

Table 5: Shows all drugs that were significantly more common in B-cases than in C-cases. Some drugs are marked with “X”, these drugs are listed in SFINX [19] (appendix I), for these specific interactions the clinical significance is unknown or varies.

18

When examining Table 5 only 4 interactions are known and listed in SFINX [19] (appendix I), these are marked with “X”. The clinical significance of these 4 interactions is unknown or varies and therefore they should be further studied.

For amitriptyline only the concomitant drug ethanol was more common in B-cases than in C-cases. Ethanol is known to increase the blood plasma concentration of amitriptyline, by decreasing the hepatic clearance of amitriptyline [21]. Hence, the combination of amitriptyline and alcohol (ethanol) increases the risk for intoxication of amitriptyline.

Paracetamol or rather one of the metabolites is known to be toxic by itself [22, 23]. At the moment there are no known interactions between paracetamol and any of the index-antidepressants listed in SFINX [19]. For paroxetine, paracetamol was more common in B-cases than in C-cases. Paracetamol was detected in almost half of the B-cases with paroxetine, 15 cases with paracetamol and 16 without paracetamol. On the contrary, among the C-cases only 1 of 34 samples contained paracetamol. This pattern was not seen for any of the other index-antidepressants. This could, however, be a random finding.

Propiomazine does not have any known drug interactions listed in SFINX [19]. However, interaction studies with propiomazine are sparse and limited: A PubMed search May 13, 2014 with the search criteria “Propiomazine” and “Interaction” gave 4 hits, none of them with particular relevance. Propiomazine is more common in B-cases than in C-cases for the antidepressant drugs; mirtazapine, venlafaxine, citalopram and fluoxetine.

Flunitrazepam was more common in B-cases than in C-cases with the antidepressant drugs mianserin, mirtazapine, venlafaxine and citalopram. Flunitrazepam is overall one of the most common drugs found in fatal poisonings [24]. Therefor it is not surprising that flunitrazepam is overrepresented in the fatal poisonings cases in this study. But still flunitrazepam comes out as more common in fatal poisonings in combination with some antidepressant drugs.

Concomitant use of with antidepressant drugs is not recommended, at least not without initial monitoring [25]. In SFINX codeine is recommended instead of tramadol, as a painkiller, if venlafaxine or sertraline are also administered to the patient [19]. Codeine was more common in B-cases than in C-cases for the antidepressant drugs mirtazapine, venlafaxine and sertraline. Codeine has no known interactions with these index-antidepressants in SFINX [19]. In the data there are no C-cases with codeine and sertraline (7 of 46 B-cases and 0 of 124 C-cases) or with codeine and mirtazapine (12 of 67 B-cases and 0 of 162 C-cases).

Venlafaxine in combination with alcohol has been associated with an elevated risk for fatal poisoning [26]. This cannot be confirmed in this study, because ethanol (alcohol) was not more common in B-cases than in C-cases.

The painkiller dextropropoxyphene was significantly more common in B-cases than in C-cases when taken together with a majority of the index-antidepressants (Table 5). It is 19 reasonable to think that dextropropoxyphene could be dangerous by itself and might have interactions with the index-antidepressants or with the concomitant drugs. Dextropropoxyphen is known to be one of the most common drugs found in fatal poisonings [24]. The data studied was sampled between 1992 and 2005. In 2009 a EU-decision was made to with draw dextropropoxyphene from the market [27, 28]. Due to that the risks, especially the risk of potentially fatal overdoses, are greater than the benefits of the drug. The findings in this project strengthen that decision.

A drawback with the study is the uncertainties with regards to the validities of the blood concentrations of the index-antidepressants. First of all, the doses taken are not known and most B-cases and C-cases are obvious suicides [2]. Blood concentration for high potentially toxic doses can be very different from blood concentrations studied in trials of therapeutic doses. This because differences in pharmacokinetics might occur for drugs in high doses compared to therapeutic doses [29]. Lastly, blood samples were taken after death so postmortem drug redistribution cannot be ruled out. This can affect the blood concentration of substances, for example tricyclic antidepressants [30]. Concentration differences were therefore not discussed.

8. Conclusions In conclusion this study shows drugs that were more common in combination with specific antidepressant drugs in cases of intoxication compared to non-intoxications. These combinations could have underlying drug-drug interactions causing the intoxication. Therefore, further studies on the following drug combinations are recommended: Paroxetine - paracetamol, mirtazapine - flunitrazepam, venlafaxine - flunitrazepam, citalopram - flunitrazepam, mirtazapine - codeine and sertraline - codeine. Also the 4 known interactions between: sertraline - zolpidem, venlafaxine - amitriptyline, venlafaxine - nortriptyline and venlafaxine - citalopram should be studied further. It is important to point out that these combinations cannot be confirmed to be more dangerous than others. But they should be considered as interesting for further studies.

This research method probably comes best into place in cases like the one with propiomazine, which also is the most interesting finding in this paper. Propiomazine is a poorly studied drug and it is more common as a concomitant drug in B-cases than in C-cases for 4 antidepressants drugs. Therefore, interaction studies are recommended to be conducted on the following drug combinations: mirtazapine - propiomazine, venlafaxine - propiomazine, citalopram - propiomazine and fluoxetine - propiomazine.

Appendix II – Relative risk Relative risk for the prevalence of concomitant drugs in B-cases compared to C-cases.

When studying the following relative risk plots remember that significant findings have to meet the two criteria that are listed below:

1. The confidence interval of the relative risk´s, showed as blue horizontal lines, has to be separated from 1. This means that the confidence interval should not overlap the blue vertical line in the plot.

2. The p-value (shown in the side of the plot for each drug) has to be lower than the value from the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure which can be seen in the header of the plot. To make it easier drugs that meet this criterion will be below a horizontal black line in the plot. If no black line is seen no p-values were significant after the Benjamini-Hochberg correction.

Drugs which have 95% confidence intervals not overlapping are significantly more or less common in B-cases or C-cases.

In the right-hand side of the plot the name and values for the drugs are listed (in the same order as the showed confidence intervals); a, c, b and d are the number of cases corresponding to each of the groups used in the contingency tables.

Appendix III – Frequency tables Frequency tables for both B-cases and C-cases of all different index-antidepressants and the two combined groups of index-antidepressants are displayed on the next pages.

In the tables are the number of cases, the number of concomitant substances, the number of cases with at least ≥ 1, ≥ 2 or ≥ 3 concomitant drugs and the average number of concomitant drugs shown.

For the B-cases the median concentration of the index-antidepressant is displayed along with the highest and lowest concentration found. For C-cases also the median concentration is displayed for the cases with at least one concomitant drug and for the cases with no concomitant drugs. These two are compared and the p-value from the test is shown.

For the two groups “all B-cases” and “all C-cases” no antidepressant blood concentrations are shown.

Appendix IV – Statistical data Statistical data listed on the next coming pages for all comparisons of the most common concomitant drugs for B-case groups against respective C-case. The concomitant drug in question is shown together with a, b, c, d, n (number of concomitant drugs tested for this group), i (which test it is in the order, for the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure), Benjamini-Hochberg value, p-values (from Fisher’s exact test, has to be lower than Benjamini-Hochberg value for being significant), and odds ratio, relative risk and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals are also sown.

If concomitant drugs were significantly more common in B-cases than in C-cases, or reversed, tests on concentration differences were made. Significant concentration differences of the index-antidepressants were listed. The tests were made within the B-case group and within the C-case group respectively. Cases that had the concomitant drug in question were compared against cases without the very same drug. If any p-values were < 0.05 the median concentration of the index-antidepressant is listed both for cases with the concomitant drug and for cases without the concomitant drug. The p-value from the test is also displayed.
