Abstract
Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are at high risk of developing pneumonia. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2-receptor antagonists (H2RA) are commonly used acid-suppressive medications to the patients with MI for gastrointestinal (GI) protection, which may increase the risk for pneumonia. We evaluated whether PPI, H2RA, and mucoprotective agents without anti-acid properties increase the risk of post-MI pneumonia. We performed a retrospective cohort study based on the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in Korea. The study included 3701 patients discharged with MI without prior history of pneumonia. During follow-up, treatments with PPI, H2RA, and mucoprotective agents were collected as time-dependent variables based on the prescription records. We performed multivariate time-dependent Cox regression analyses for the development of post-MI pneumonia. During the mean 4.85 ± 3.75 years follow-up, 999 participants developed pneumonia. In the multivariate analyses (adjusted hazard ratio; 95% confidence interval), the risk for pneumonia was significantly increased in treatment with PPI (2.25; 1.57-3.21) and H2RA (1.50; 1.16-1.93). Meanwhile, the risk for pneumonia was not increased in treatment with mucoprotective agents. When we evaluated GI bleeding event according to the medications as a secondary outcome analysis, mucoprotective agents were associated with increased GI bleeding risk, but PPI and H2RA were not. In the use of the GI medications in the treatment of patients with MI, the influence of these drugs on bleeding and pneumonia should be considered.
