The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of cumulative PPI use with PCa diagnosis and adverse outcomes. METHODS: This is a population-based study, using provincewide-linked administrative data from Ontario including all men≥66 years with no prior PCa diagnosis, work-up, or treatment, and no PPI/H2-blocker prescriptions within the year preceding study inclusion (study period: January 2003 to December 2018). The primary exposure was cumulative PPI use, with H2-blockers as a positive control. Associations between study exposure and time-to-event outcomes were evaluated using multivariable complementary log-log logistic regression. RESULTS: The study cohort included 559,425 men (median follow-up: 10.1 years). Median age was 66 years. Any PPI use was observed in 26.1% of men. Annual PPI use increased from 0.9% to 15% between 2003 and 2019. On multivariable modeling, adjusted for age, income quintile and comorbidities, cumulative PPI exposure was associated with significantly increased rates of PCa diagnosis (HR=4.10, 95% CI:3.97-4.23). This association persisted following further adjustment for frequency of general practitioner visits and PSA testing (HR=2.87, p<0.001). Cumulative PPI exposure was also associated with increased rates of clinically significant (HR=4.42, 95% CI:4.11-4.75) and high-grade PCa (HR=3.78, 95% CI:3.37-4.24), time to first ADT prescription/bilateral orchiectomy (HR=2.93, 95% CI:2.77-3.09), and PSA doubling time≤6 months (HR=3.12, 95% CI:2.98-3.27). Compared to PPI use, the associations between H2-blocker use and study outcomes were of significantly lower magnitudes of effect. CONCLUSIONS: In a population-based cohort of elderly men, cumulative PPI intake was associated with clinically significant increases in the rates of PCa diagnosis, independent of PSA testing frequency and/or GP visits, as well as adverse PCa-related outcomes. In lieu of prospective data, these results should be used to counsel long-term PPI users regarding the long-term risks of adverse PCa outcomes.
