Background: Intra-operative topical vancomycin (VAN) is a strategy used to prevent surgical site infections (SSI). Although evidence supporting efficacy in SSI prevention is evolving, data describing safety, specifically acute kidney injury (AKI), are limited. The purpose of this study was to determine AKI incidence in patients who received intra-operative topical VAN. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study of adult inpatient encounters in which topical VAN was administered intra-operatively as powder/paste, beads, rods/cement/spacers, or unspecified topical route from February to July 2018. Patients were excluded for AKI or renal replacement therapy (RRT) at baseline or ≤2 serum creatinine (SCr) values post-surgery. The primary outcome was AKI incidence after intra-operative topical VAN, defined as increase in SCr ≥50% or 0.5 mg/dL from baseline or RRT initiation. Secondary outcomes included analysis of AKI risk factors and SSI incidence. Acute kidney injury risk factors were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Results: Five hundred thirty-four patient encounters met study criteria. Powder/paste were the most common topical VAN formulations (44.8%) with median doses of 2,000 (range, 1,000-26,000) mg. Acute kidney injury incidence was 8.8%. Independent risk factors for AKI were higher Charlson comorbidity index (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.20 [range, 1.06-1.36]), concomitant systemic VAN (aOR, 2.44 [range, 1.29-4.58]), and doubling of total topical VAN dose (aOR, 1.51 [range, 1.13-2.03]). Conclusions: The incidence of AKI with intra-operative topical VAN is comparable to reported rates as systemic VAN. Clinicians may consider total topical VAN dose and concomitant systemic VAN to limit AKI incidence with topical VAN use. |
