Résumé

Vincristine is a vital constituent of chemotherapeutic regimens. Vincristine-induced neuropathy is a challenging adverse effect that impacts quality of life and treatment course. The dose rounding of chemotherapies is a strategy that is commonly used in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the frequency of developed neuropathy in vincristine first-time users and the potential association with dose rounding remains elusive. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients administered vincristine for the first time between 2016 and 2022 using the King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC) database. Patients were stratified into pediatric and adult groups. Neuropathy frequency, its association with demographic and clinical parameters, and the Impact of dose rounding were assessed using SPSS software version 28. Approximately 34.6% of patients were diagnosed with neuropathy after vincristine administration. Autonomic neuropathy was common among affected adults and pediatric patients (55.1% and 56.1%, respectively), while cranial neuropathy was more frequent in pediatric patients. Higher BSA ( Our findings demonstrate that autonomic neuropathy is the most common vincristine-related neuropathy, regardless of the patient's age. Dose rounding is a significant determinant of vincristine-induced neuropathy in both groups. Further studies are needed to evaluate the variables that exacerbate or prevent neuropathy associated with the first-time use of vincristine.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Vincristine is a vital constituent of chemotherapeutic regimens. Vincristine-induced neuropathy is a challenging adverse effect that impacts quality of life and treatment course. The dose rounding of chemotherapies is a strategy that is commonly used in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the frequency of developed neuropathy in vincristine first-time users and the potential association with dose rounding remains elusive.
METHODS METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients administered vincristine for the first time between 2016 and 2022 using the King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC) database. Patients were stratified into pediatric and adult groups. Neuropathy frequency, its association with demographic and clinical parameters, and the Impact of dose rounding were assessed using SPSS software version 28.
RESULTS RESULTS
Approximately 34.6% of patients were diagnosed with neuropathy after vincristine administration. Autonomic neuropathy was common among affected adults and pediatric patients (55.1% and 56.1%, respectively), while cranial neuropathy was more frequent in pediatric patients. Higher BSA (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Our findings demonstrate that autonomic neuropathy is the most common vincristine-related neuropathy, regardless of the patient's age. Dose rounding is a significant determinant of vincristine-induced neuropathy in both groups. Further studies are needed to evaluate the variables that exacerbate or prevent neuropathy associated with the first-time use of vincristine.
