BACKGROUND: Long-term hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine (CQ) intake causes retinal toxicity in 0.3-8 % of patients with rheumatic diseases. Numerous risk factors have been described, eg, daily dose by weight, treatment duration, chronic kidney disease, concurrent tamoxifen therapy and pre-existing retinal or macular disease. However, those factors cannot explain the entire risk of developing antimalarial retinopathy.

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to identify new risk factors associated with HCQ or CQ retinopathy (QRNP) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

METHODS: This case-control (1:2) study compared SLE patients with QRNP (cases) to those without (controls). Controls were matched for sex and known QRNP risk factors: HCQ and/or CQ treatment duration (±1 year) and age (±5 year) at SLE diagnosis.

RESULTS: Forty-eight cases were compared to 96 SLE controls. Multivariable logistic-regression analysis retained the following as independent determinants significantly associated with QRNP: concomitant selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin- and norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) intake (OR [95 % confidence interval] 6.6 [1.2 to 40.9]; p < 0.01); antiphospholipid syndrome (OR=8.9 [2.2 to 41.4] p < 0.01); blood hydroxychloroquine/desethylchloroquine concentration ([HCQ]/[DCQ]) ratio <7.2 (OR 8.4 [2.7 to 30.8]; p < 0.01) or skin phototype ≥4 (OR 5.5 [1.4 to 26.5]; p = 0.02), but not daily HCQ dose, blood [HCQ] or body mass index.

CONCLUSION: The results of this case-control study identified blood [HCQ]/[DCQ] ratio, concurrent SSRI/SNRI therapy, skin phototype ≥4 and antiphospholipid syndrome as new risk factors for QRNP.
