    AbstractWe aimed to report the incidence and severity of nonionic low-osmolar iodine contrast medium (ICM)-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the Republic of Korea, by analyzing data from our single tertiary institution and published Korean reports, and to determine whether there is a difference in the incidence of ICM-related ADR by ICM generics. A total of 1,161,419 consecutive contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examinations between January 2016 and December 2021 at Asan Medical Center were included. A systematic search of the literature investigating the incidence of ICM-related ADR in the Republic of Korea published up to December 31, 2021 was performed. We pooled these outcomes with those of our study using a binomial-normal model, and the pooled incidences of ADRs were compared among ICM generics using chi-square tests. Seven studies with a total of 2,570,986 contrast-enhanced CT examinations from 12 institutions were included. The pooled incidences of overall, mild, moderate, and severe ICM-related ADRs in the Republic of Korea were 0.82% (95% CI: 0.61%-1.10%), 0.72% (95% CI: 0.50%-1.04%), 0.11% (95% CI: 0.08%-0.15%), and 0.013% (95% CI: 0.010%-0.018%), respectively. In multiple pairwise comparisons, there were no significant differences in the overall incidence of ADRs between ICM generics, except iomeprol versus iobitridol and iomeprol versus iohexol. For moderate and severe ADRs, there were no significant differences in ADR incidence between ICM generics. The incidence of moderate and severe ICM-related ADRs did not differ among ICM generics. Our results suggest that no restriction is required for selection among nonionic low-osmolar ICMs.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
