Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer has not been investigated in Asians. We aimed to investigate this association. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 1,000,000 individuals were randomly sampled from the National Health Insurance database, and incident cases of bladder cancer during the period from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2009 were analyzed among 54,928 patients with type 2 diabetes and without previous bladder cancer. RESULTS: Among 165 incident case subjects, 10 (0.39%) were ever users and 155 (0.30%) were never users of pioglitazone (adjusted hazard ratio in full model 1.305 [95% CI 0.661–2.576]). All bladder cancer in ever users occurred within a duration of therapy <24 months, suggesting an early effect of pioglitazone on bladder cancer or late use of pioglitazone in high-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS: The association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer was not significant. However, confirmation of this finding is required because of the possible lack of statistical power owing to the small number of events.

  • There is some suggestion of a possible link between pioglitazone and bladder cancer, so individuals with a history of bladder cancer or unexplained hematuria should probably not receive this drug.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
