INTRODUCTION: Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is an important antibiotic, with the most compelling indications for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prophylaxis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus treatment. Previous adverse reactions (AR) to TMP-SMX may limit the usability of TMP-SMX. Electronic medical record (EMR) of AR for other antibiotics has previously been shown to be inaccurate; however, the extent to which this occurs for TMP-SMX is unknown.
METHODS: A multi-centre retrospective observational study was conducted for consecutive inpatient admissions over a 2.5-year period commencing 2020. Adverse reactions to TMP-SMX recorded in the EMR were collected and reviewed by two independent medical officers using pre-defined expert criteria for the classification of allergies and intolerances.
RESULTS: TMP-SMX AR were present in the EMR of 759 individuals (prevalence 0.6%). The majority were labelled as allergy (725, 95.5%) rather than intolerance (34, 4.5%). Most common AR were rash, vomiting, and swelling. When classified against the gold-standard expert criteria, there were 437 allergies (57.6%) and 159 intolerances (21.0%). Overall, the number of incorrect EMR AR labels was 133/759 (17.5%). Both medical and surgical specialties had significant numbers of patients with TMP-SMX AR labels and incorrectly classified EMR AR labels.
CONCLUSION: TMP-SMX AR labels affect inpatients admitted under multiple specialty units. The user-entered categorization as allergy or intolerance labels in EMRs are frequently used incorrectly. These incorrect labels may inappropriately contraindicate the use of TMP-SMX, and formal evaluation of TMP-SMX ARs with immunological assessment and relabelling where appropriate may increase the use of this agent.
