Abstract 6163

Background

Dexamethasone are often administered to prevent chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of, and factors associated with, steroid induced metabolic syndrome in cancer patients receiving high emetic risk chemotherapy with antiemetic dexamethasone therapy.

Methods

This study was conducted retrospectively chart review of 356 patients who received high emetic risk chemotherapy with dexamethasone, aprepitant, and 5-HT3 antagonist between September 2015 and December 2017 at Chung-Ang University College of Medicine. Fasting plasma glucose levels. systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, HDL for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome were performed before chemotherapy and 6 months after the start of chemotherapy.

Results

In total, 256 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in analysis. The incidence of newly diagnosis metabolic syndrome was 17.5% (45 patients) after chemotherapy. The incidence of newly diagnosis diabetes and hypertension was 5.8% (15 patients), 26.2% (67 patients) after 6 months follow up. The mean metabolic syndrome score was 1.4 (range: 0-4) after chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed significant association of the incidence of streroid induced metabolic syndrome with BMI ≥ 25 (OR = 3.497, 95% CI = 1.064 – 11.494, p = 0.039) and colorectal cancer (OR = 0.088, 95% CI = 0.010-0.731, p = 0.024).

Conclusions

The incidence of steroid-induced metabolic syndrome after antiemetic dexamethasone therapy was high (17.4%). Therefore, we suggested that carefully measure glucose as well as LDL, triglyceride, blood pressure during antiemetic dexamethasone therapy.
