Relationship between vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity and vancomycin trough concentration in older adults :A retrospective observational study - Vol.55(3), May-Jun - Mumbai Wolter Kluwer 2023 - 155-161p.
OBJECTIVES:
The objective of the study is to investigate the risk factors of vancomycin-induced renal toxicity in older adults, especially in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stages 3–5.
METHODS:
In this retrospective observational study, serum vancomycin trough concentrations (VTCs) in patients aged g65 years treated with vancomycin were analyzed, and independent risk factors of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity (VIN) were determined by logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS:
In total, 321 patients were included in this study. Serum VTC was an independent risk factor for vancomycin-induced renal toxicity in total cohort (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; P = 0.004) as well as in the cohort with CKD Stages 3–5 (OR, 1.09; P = 0.010). A daily dose of vancomycin and Charlson comorbidity index was an independent risk factor for vancomycin-induced renal toxicity in total cohort (OR, 3.63; P = 0.006) and in the cohort with CKD Stage 3–5 (OR, 1.83; P = 0.002), respectively. In older adults with CKD Stages 3a and 3b-5, the VTCs associated with higher risk for vancomycin-induced renal toxicity were 21.5 mg/L and 16.5 mg/L, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
In older adults, serum VTC is an independent risk factor for VIN. VTCs over 21.5 mg/L and 16.5 mg/L are associated with increased risk of VIN in this population with CKD Stage 3a and 3b-5, respectively.
