Comparison of patient comfort between iodixanol and iopamidol in contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis: a randomized trial

Abstract: Patients receiving iodixanol had significantly lower moderate-to-severe or severe discomfort than patients receiving iopamidol, with heat being the major contributor. Iodixanol use trended towards better image quality but the difference was not statistically significant. No significant differences in incidences of overall or contrast-related AEs or delayed skin reactions were seen between the two groups. These data support that CM osmolality may be a key determinant of patient discomfort.

“…However, none of these results reached the predefined cut off for statistical significance. Our results fairly compares with previously published data from RCTs documenting less patients’ discomfort, minor frequency of AEs and equivalent or higher quality image in association with iodixanol compared with low osmolar CM (Gharekhanloo & Torabian, ; Weiland et al, ; Xiao et al, ). Similarly, results from studies of iodine CM intra‐arterial injection tend to favor iodixanol over low osmolar CM agents by safety profile (Manke et al, ; Manninen et al, ; Rosenberg et al, ; Svensson et al, ).…”

“…Similarly, results from studies of iso‐osmolar versus low osmolar CM for the intra‐venous (i.v.) route have been fairly consistent in supporting less frequent discomfort, better safety profile, and greater enhancement of the hepatic, aorta, and portal vein (Gharekhanloo & Torabian, ; Weiland, Marti‐Bonmati, Lim, & Becker, ; Xiao et al, ) in patients receiving iso‐osmolar CM. Risk of CIN development defined at the single patient level upon baseline estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been repeatedly considered in trials of CIN following iodine CM administration in course of CT scan, with inconsistent results (Davenport, Khalatbari, Cohan, et al, ; Davenport, Khalatbari, Dillman, et al, ; Kim et al, ; Kuhn et al, ; Lima et al, ; McDonald, McDonald, Bida, ; McDonald, McDonald, Comin, ; Thomsen & Morcos, ; Utsunomiya et al, ; Weisbord et al, ).…”

“…Phagocytosis of macrophages is inhibited by HOCM and LOCM. On the other hand, chemotaxis of granulocytes was not affected by any CM after urography (80,81). The ionic HOCM has an anticoagulant effect, as demonstrated in an experimental study on the thrombogenic effects of various CM in angiographic catheters (82).…”

“…Iodine-based CM (both ionic HOCM and non-ionic LOCM, IOCM) affect the properties of blood, the so-called rheological properties. These effects have been investigated extensively and numerous publications (n = 28) have been published in Acta Radiologica (78)(79)(80)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89).…”
