Acute kidney injury risk associated with piperacillin/tazobactam compared with cefepime during vancomycin therapy in hospitalised patients: a cohort study stratified by baseline kidney function
Highlights • Risk of AKI with vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam (VPT) versus vancomycin + cefepime (VC) was compared. • Elevated risk of AKI in hospitalised patients receiving VPT was compared with VC. • Association was true in patients with normal renal function but not in those with pre-existin...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Risk of AKI with vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam (VPT) versus vancomycin + cefepime (VC) was compared. • Elevated risk of AKI in hospitalised patients receiving VPT was compared with VC. • Association was true in patients with normal renal function but not in those with pre-existing renal impairment. • Future studies evaluating drug-associated AKI should consider stratification by baseline renal function. |
