The association between fluoroquinolones and aortic dissection and aortic aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Previous studies have drawn causal associations between fluoroquinolone use and collagen pathologies including tendon rupture and retinopathy. This meta-analysis attempted to assess the association between fluoroquinolone use and the risk of aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm. A systemati...
