OBJECTIVE To analyze the non-genetic risk factors for severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) related to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in HLA-B*15:02 negative patients, and provide a basis for clinical precision medication. METHODS A retrospective case-control design was used to include patients who underwent HLA-B*15:02 testing at our hospital from January 2022 to December 2024. Patients were divided into SCARs group (15 cases who were HLA-B*15:02 negative and diagnosed with SCARs) and control group (38 cases who were HLA-B*15:02 negative and used AEDs). Risk factors were evaluated using univariate analysis and a multivariable Firth penalty likelihood logistic regression model (Firth regression), and Benjamin-Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) and Firth regression were used for correction, and sensitivity analysis was used to quantify the impact of potential biases in carbamazepine exposure rates in the control group on the results. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that age≥50 years, use of carbamazepine, and combination use of antibiotics/antiviral drugs were risk factors for developing AEDs- related SCARs (OR=18.15, 7.54, 13.46, 95%CI of 4.13-79.84, 1.89-30.08, 1.36-133.18, all P<0.05), while taking lamotrigine was a protective factor [OR=0.10, 95%CI of 0.02-0.39, P<0.05]. After FDR correction, the above factors still maintained statistical significance (P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that age≥50 years [adjusted OR=16.27, 95%CI of 3.98-66.55, P<0.001] and taking carbamazepine [adjusted OR=7.11, 95%CI of 1.82-27.85, P=0.005] were independent risk factors for the occurrence of SCARs-related AEDs. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the adjusted risk OR range for taking carbamazepine was between 14.2 and 28.4. CONCLUSIONS Age≥50 years and use of carbamazepine are independent non- genetic risk factors for the development of SCARs-related AEDs in HLA-B*15:02 negative patients. It is recommended that elderly patients should prioritize the use of AEDs other than carbamazepine.
