Abstract: Objective To analyze reports and influencing factors of drug-induced hypokalemia in diammonium oxalate adverse reactions. Methods the ADR reports from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2020 of diammonium glycyrrhizinate collected by the national adverse drug reaction monitoring system from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 12 816 adverse reaction/event reports of diammonium glycyrrhizinate were included in the analysis, including 110 reports of hypokalemia. The reporting rate of hypokalemia was analyzed according to age, gender, dosage form, medication time and underlying diseases (diabetes and hypertension). The chi-square test was conducted to compare the difference in the reports rate of hypokalemia among different groups. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to further explore the influencing factors of hypokalemia. Results Among the adverse reactions of diammonium glycyrrhizinate, the reporting rate of hypokalemia was 1.72% in the oral preparation group, and 0.56% in the injection preparation group (the difference was statistically significant) and the reporting rate of hypokalemia increased significantly with age as well as duration of medication. Logistic regression analysis showed that the corrected OR value of the oral preparation was 2.171 compared with the injection preparation. The corrected OR values of middle-aged and elderly groups were 2.534 and 3.394 compared with the young group. The corrected OR values of 2~3, 4~6, 7~14, 15~30 and >; 30 days were 6.761, 28.253, 28.762, 48.071 and 134.501 compared with the 1 day group. The corrected OR value of diabetic patients was 3.223 compared with non-diabetic patients. Conclusion Elderly, oral preparations, long time medication and diabetes mellitus are risk factors for drug-induced hypokalemia among the adverse reaction of diammonium glycyrrhizinate.
