Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) are a group of delayed presumed T-cell mediated hypersensitivities associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite their shared global healthcare burden and impact, the clinical phenotypes, genomic predisposition, drug causality, and treatment outcomes may vary. We describe the establishment and results from the first Australasian registry for SCAR (AUS-SCAR), that via a collaborative network advances strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of SCAR.Prospective multi-center registry of SCAR in Australian adult and adolescents, with planned regional expansion. The registry collects externally verified phenotypic data drug causality, therapeutics and long-term patient outcomes. In addition, biorepository specimens and DNA are collected at participating sites.we report on the first 100 patients enrolled in the AUS-SCAR database. DRESS (50%) is the most predominant phenotype followed by SJS/TEN (39%) and AGEP (10%), with median age of 52 years old (IQR 37.5, 66) with 1:1 male-to-female ratio. The median latency for all implicated drugs is highly variable but similar for DRESS (median 15 days IQR 5,25) and SJS/TEN (median 21 days, IQR 7,27), while lowest for AGEP (median 2.5 days, IQR 1,8). Antibiotics (54.5%) are more commonly listed as primary implicated drug compare with non-antibiotics agent (45.5%). Mortality rate at 90 days was highest in SJS/TEN at 23.1%, followed by DRESS (4%) and AGEP (0%).In the first prospective national phenotypic and biorepository of SCAR in the southern hemisphere we demonstrate notable differences to other reported registries; including DRESS-predominant phenotype, varied antibiotic causality and low overall mortality rate. This study also highlights the lack of standardised preventative pharmacogenomic measures and / diagnostic strategies to ascertain drug causality.ANZCTR ACTRN12619000241134.
