Abstract
Purpose In recent years, the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms had caused the resurgence of colistin use after it was previously abandoned due to its side effects, nephrotoxicity in particular. However, the specific incidence of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity varies in reports with different populations. This study aims to assess the incidence of colistin-associated nephrotoxicity and the associated risk factors. Patients and Methods This study was on 178 patients who received colistin for more than 48 hours during the years 2019-2022, who were followed up for 14 days after the initiation of colistin, and demographic and clinical data were gained from medical reports. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between nephrotoxicity and study variables. Results The incidence of nephrotoxicity was 44.9% (95% confidence interval (CI); 37% to 53%), and the overall mortality was 33%, with a significantly higher level among patients with nephrotoxicity. The significant risk factors for nephrotoxicity after adjustment were; higher weights (OR = 1.1, 95% CI; 0.03-1.2), P-value: 0.006, and the combination with carbapenem showed a significant protective effect (OR = 0.09, 95% CI; 0.01-0.8), P-value: 0.03. The severity, according to KDIGO classification, was stage 1 (47%), stage 2 (21%), and stage 3 (31%). Higher stages had earlier onset acute kidney injury, a lower percentage of returning to baseline, and exposure to a higher colistin dose. Conclusion Colistin-induced nephrotoxicity was a frequent issue associated with higher weights, mitigated by the combination with carbapenems. While higher colistin dosages, and earlier onset AKI, were linked to the progression to higher AKI stages and the need for dialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Colistimethate sodium and tobramycin are important systemic antibiotics for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary exacerbations but can induce acute kidney injury (AKI). We characterize the rate of AKI in CF patients treated with systemic colistimethate sodium compared with tobramycin. METHODS This single-centre, retrospective cohort study included hospitalized CF patients treated with IV colistimethate sodium or tobramycin. The primary outcome was AKI defined using the RIFLE criteria. Multivariate logistic regression using a mixed model was performed to identify variables that were independently associated with AKI. RESULTS Overall, 156 patients representing 507 care encounters were included. The OR of AKI was not increased with IV colistimethate sodium relative to IV tobramycin after adjusting for other potential predictor variables (aOR 1.00; 95% CI 0.16-6.03). The frequency of AKI was 9.5% across all encounters, 6.9% with IV colistimethate sodium and 9.9% with IV tobramycin, with RIFLE category R (risk) being the most common stage, accounting for 4.2% of encounters with IV colistimethate sodium and 9.2% with IV tobramycin. The concomitant use of another nephrotoxin (aOR 2.51; 95% CI 1.27-4.95) or the combination of vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam (aOR 5.95; 95% CI 2.05-17.3) were both associated with increased odds of AKI. CONCLUSIONS Systemic treatment with colistimethate sodium or tobramycin in the CF patient population is associated with a similar rate of nephrotoxicity. However, clinicians should be mindful of the increased risk for AKI in patients treated with either IV colistimethate sodium or IV tobramycin when used concurrently with other nephrotoxic agents, particularly the combination of vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infection is a major global public health threat. Currently, colistin is considered the last-resort treatment despite its nephrotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence, characteristics, and influencing factors and to develop a prediction model for colistin-associated nephrotoxicity. A retrospective study was conducted in the university hospital in the South of Thailand from December 2015 to June 2019. A total of 381 patients (median age (IQR) of 64 (51–62) years) were analyzed. Overall, 282 (74%) had nephrotoxicity according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification. In-hospital, 30-day mortality rates and cost of hospital admission were significantly higher among those with nephrotoxicity. Age > 60 years, comorbidities, serum albumin less than 3.5 g/dL, and concomitant nephrotoxic use were significantly associated with colistin-associated nephrotoxicity with adjusted OR (95% CI) 2.01 (1.23–2.45), 1.85 (1.18–3.6), 1.68 (1.09–2.99), and 1.77 (1.10–2.97), respectively. The prediction model for high-risk colistin-associated nephrotoxicity was identified with good overall performance (specificity of 79.6% (95% CI 70.3–87.1) and positive predictive value of 92.1% (95% CI 88.0–95.1)). In conclusion, the incidence of colistin-associated nephrotoxicity was high and incurred significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Our predictive scoring system is relatively simple and useful for optimizing colistin therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Colistin is used to treat severe antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative infections (GNIs). With the rise of antibiotic resistance, colistin has been used increasingly as a ‘last-line’ therapy for multidrug-resistant GNIs. We evaluated the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality among patients receiving colistin or one of the new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (βL + βLI) (ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, or meropenem/vaborbactam). Methods This retrospective cohort study used data from the Premier Healthcare Database. The cohort included propensity score-matched adults with an inpatient stay between January 2016 and December 2018. Patients given both colistin and BL + BLI as treatment for ≥ 72 h were excluded. AKI was defined as acute renal failure or dialysis during hospitalization with antibiotic administration. Propensity score matching was used to control for selection bias and confounding. Logistic regression evaluated associations between treatment, AKI, and in-hospital mortality. Results The total number of patients in the matched cohorts were 256 in each. Overall, 23.8% and 13.3% of patients receiving colistin or new βL + βLI agents, respectively, experienced AKI during hospitalization (p = 0.002); odds of AKI for colistin were 3.0 (95% CI 1.71, 5.21). Following propensity score-matching, patients without baseline renal disease experienced AKI during hospitalization to a higher degree in the colistin group compared to the βL + βLI group (17.1% vs. 6.8%); colistin use was associated with 3.7 times higher odds (95% CI 1.84, 7.42) of AKI compared to βL + βLI agents. The odds of mortality in patients on colistin developing AKI were more than three times that of patients receiving a BL + BLI agent who developed AKI. Among patients receiving colistin, incident AKI was associated with 6.1 times higher odds (95% CI 2.53, 14.71) of mortality. Conclusions Patients receiving colistin for GNIs had significantly higher odds of AKI and mortality than those receiving βL + βLI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A colistin loading dose is required to achieve adequate drug exposure for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, data on acute kidney injury (AKI) rates associated with this approach in children have been unavailable. The aim of this study was to examine AKI rates in children who were prescribed a colistin loading dose. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in patients aged 1 month to 18 years who had received intravenous colistin for ≥48 h. Loading dose (LD) was defined as colistin methanesulfonate at 4-5 mg of colistin base activity/kg/dose. AKI was defined according to KDIGO serum creatinine (SCr) criteria - SCr ≥ 1.5 times the baseline, measured 3-7 days after colistin initiation. Augmented renal clearance (ARC) was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >150 mL/min/1.73 m2. The rates of AKI were compared between children receiving or not receiving an LD, and between different eGFR groups. RESULTS In total, 181 children were enrolled. The mean age was 4.3 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6-4.9 years). Ninety-five of the subjects (52.5%) were male. There were 157 children with a baseline eGFR of ≥ 80 mL/min/1.73 m2. The overall AKI rate within the first week in this group was 20.4% (95% CI, 14.4-27.6%): LD, 16.1% vs no LD, 23.2% (p = 0.29). Subgroup analysis, excluding patients with ARC, showed a lower AKI rate of 12.8% (95% CI, 6.8-21.3%): LD, 9.7% vs no LD, 14.3% (p = 0.53). CONCLUSIONS AKI rate was not different among children who received an intravenous colistin loading dose. This approach should be implemented to ensure the necessary drug exposure required for good treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity are commonly associated with polymyxin treatment; however, the emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria with limited therapeutic options has resulted in increased use of polymyxins. OBJECTIVES To determine the rates of nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity during polymyxin treatment and whether any factors influence these. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched on 2 January 2020. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies reporting nephrotoxicity and/or neurotoxicity rates in patients with infections treated with polymyxins were included. Reviews, meta-analyses and reports not in English were excluded. PARTICIPANTS Patients hospitalized with infections treated with systemic or inhaled polymyxins were included. For comparative analyses, patients treated with non-polymyxin-based regimens were also included. METHODS Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model; subgroup meta-analyses were conducted where data permitted using a mixed-effects model. RESULTS In total, 237 reports of randomized controlled trials, cohort and case-control studies were eligible for inclusion; most were single-arm observational studies. Nephrotoxic events in 35,569 patients receiving polymyxins were analysed. Overall nephrotoxicity rate was 0.282 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.259-0.307). When excluding studies where >50% of patients received inhaled-only polymyxin treatment or nephrotoxicity assessment was by methods other than internationally recognized criteria (RIFLE, KDIGO or AKIN), the nephrotoxicity rate was 0.391 (95% CI 0.364-0.419). The odds of nephrotoxicity were greater with polymyxin therapies compared to non-polymyxin-based regimens (odds ratio 2.23 (95% CI 1.58-3.15); p < 0.001). Meta-analyses showed a significant effect of polymyxin type, dose, patient age, number of concomitant nephrotoxins and use of diuretics, glycopeptides or vasopressors on the rate of nephrotoxicity. Polymyxin therapies were not associated with a significantly different rate of neurotoxicity than non-polymyxin-based regimens (p 0.051). The overall rate of neurotoxicity during polymyxin therapy was 0.030 (95% CI 0.020-0.043). CONCLUSIONS Polymyxins are associated with a higher risk of nephrotoxicity than non-polymyxin-based regimens.

Polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity and its predictors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies conducted using RIFLE criteria of acute kidney injury. Pharmacol Res 2020; 163:105328. [PMID: 33276108 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2020.105328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 11/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Polymyxins are last-resort antibiotics re-emerged to treat infections caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, polymyxin-associated nephrotoxicity has become the main safety concern. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis on polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity and its predictors using studies conducted based on the validated RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of Function and End-stage renal disease) criteria of acute kidney damage. Literature search was carried out through visiting legitimate databases and indexing services including PubMed, MEDLINE (Ovid®), EMBASE (Ovid®), and Scopus to retrieve relevant studies. Following screening and eligibility evaluation, relevant data were extracted from included studies and analyzed using STATA 15.0 and Rev-Man 5.3. Inverse variance method with random effects pooling model was used for the analysis of outcome measures at 95% confidence interval. Besides, meta-regression, meta-influence, and publication bias analyses were conducted. A total of 48 studies involving 6,199 adult patients aged ≥ 18 years were included for systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity was found to be 45% (95% CI: 41- 49%; I2 = 92.52%). Stratifying with RIFLE severity scales, pooled estimates of polymyxin-treated patients identified as 'risk', 'injury' and 'failure' were 17% (95% CI: 14-20%), 13% (95% CI: 11-15%), and 10% (95% CI: 9-11%), respectively. Besides, the pooled incidence of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity was about 48% (95% CI: 42-54%), whereas that of polymyxin B was 38% (95% CI: 32-44%). Likewise, colistin had 37% increased risk of developing nephrotoxicity compared to the polymyxin B treated cohorts (RR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.13-1.67; I2 = 57%). Older age (AOR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05), daily dose (AOR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.09-1.96), underlying diabetes mellitus (AOR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.25-2.63), and concomitant nephrotoxic drugs (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.79-3.00) were independent risk factors for polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity. Patients with high serum albumin level were less likely (AOR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.56-0.85] to experience nephrotoxicity compared to those with low albumin level. Despite the resurgence of these antibiotics for the chemotherapy of MDR/XDR-Gram-negative superbugs, the high incidence of nephrotoxicity has become a contemporary clinical concern. Being elderly, high daily dose, having underlying diseases such as diabetes, and use of concomitant nephrotoxic drugs were independent predictors of nephrotoxicity. Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring should be done to these patients to outweigh the potential benefits of polymyxin therapy from its risk.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity following colistin administration is common and factors alleviating nephrotoxicity are yet to be determined. We retrospectively evaluated outcomes of subjects who were treated with colistin (n = 133) and with antibiotics other than colistin (control, n = 133) in intensive care units. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 69.2% and 29.3% of patients in colistin and control groups, respectively (p < 0.001). In the colistin group, glucocorticoid exposure was more common in subjects who did not develop AKI (p < 0.001). This was not the case in the control group. In the colistin cohort, older age (per 10 years, odds ratio [OR] 1.41, 95% CI 1.05-1.91; p = 0.025), PPI use (OR 3.30, 95% CI 1.18-9.23; p = 0.023) and furosemide treatment (OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.01-6.98; p = 0.047) were independently associated with the development of AKI while glucocorticoid treatment (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.10-0.53; p = 0.001) was independently associated with reduced risk of AKI. Mortality was observed in 74 patients in the colistin cohort (55.6%). A higher APACHE-II score (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.08-1.26; p < 0.001) was independently associated with mortality while a higher serum albumin level (per 1 g/dL increase, OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.070-0.60; p = 0.004) was associated with a lower risk of mortality. In conclusion, glucocorticoid exposure is associated with a lower risk of AKI caused by colistin therapy in critically-ill patients. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine the optimal type, dose and duration of glucocorticoid therapy.
