■ 要旨
Enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (EIASMs) may increase vascular risk, but evidence from Asian populations and from discrete cardiovascular outcomes has been limited. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Japanese DeSC claims database from April 2014 to May 2022. Adults with newly diagnosed epilepsy who initiated antiseizure medication were classified into EIASM and non-EIASM groups. After propensity score-based stabilized inverse probability weighting, 135,394 eligible patients were analyzed. Outcomes were acute myocardial infarction requiring PCI or CABG, cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. EIASM use was associated with higher risks of acute myocardial infarction with revascularization, cerebral infarction, and intracerebral hemorrhage, while no significant association was observed for subarachnoid hemorrhage. These findings suggest that vascular risk may differ by event type and should be considered when selecting antiseizure medications, especially for patients with elevated cardiovascular risk.
