Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a severe adverse drug reaction, characterized by extensive skin detachment. With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in oncology, it is crucial to understand the differences in SJS/TEN induced by ICIs compared to other drugs. This study aims to compare the clinical manifestations and outcomes of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) or other severity of cutaneous adverse events induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), versus other types of drugs. We analyzed differences in clinical characteristics, treatment methods, outcomes, and survival time and quality of life.

Introduction:

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a severe adverse drug reaction characterized by extensive skin detachment. With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in oncology, it is crucial to understand the differences in SJS/TEN induced by ICIs compared to other drugs. This study aims to compare the clinical manifestations and outcomes of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) or other severity of cutaneous adverse events induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) versus other type drugs. We analyzed differences in clinical characteristics, treatment methods, outcomes, and survival time and quality of life.

Methods:

• Study Design: Retrospective cohort study or cross-sectional study.
• Participants: 60 patients with ICI-induced SJS/TEN and 100 to 500 patients with other drug-induced SJS/TEN.
• Data Collection: Detailed medical records were reviewed to extract information.
• Statistical Analysis: analysis using appropriate statistical tests (e.g., t-test, chi-square test).

Results:

Present the analysis results, highlighting significant differences between the two groups. Use tables and graphs to illustrate key findings.

Conclusion:

We discuss the clinical implications of the findings, potential mechanisms underlying the observed differences, and the relevance to patient management. Summarize the main findings and their significance for clinical practice. Emphasize the need for tailored treatment approaches based on the type of drug causing SJS/TEN.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Clinical diagnosis of SJS/TEN induced by any drugs
• Have the immune-related cutaneous adverse events

Exclusion Criteria:

• Incomplete medical records
• Unknown the specific culprit drugs

Detailed patient records for SJS/TEN were available in the dermatology inpatient department according to inclusion criteria.
