Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly reported adverse effect of administration of antimicrobials. While AKI can be associated with poorer outcomes, there is little information available to understand rates of AKI in children exposed to various antimicrobials. We performed a structured review using the PubMed and Embase databases. Articles were included if they provided an AKI definition in patients who were < 19 years of age receiving an antimicrobial and reported the frequency of AKI. Author-defined AKI rates were calculated for each study and mean pooled estimates for each antimicrobial were derived from among all study participants. Pooled estimates were also derived for those studies that reported AKI according to pRIFLE (pediatric risk, injury, failure, loss, end stage criteria), AKIN (acute kidney injury network), or KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcomes) creatinine criteria. A total of 122 studies evaluating 28 antimicrobials met the inclusion criteria. Vancomycin was the most commonly studied drug: 11,514 courses across 44 included studies. Among the 27,285 antimicrobial exposures, the overall AKI rate was 13.2% (range 0-42.1% by drug), but the rate of AKI varied widely across studies (range 0-68.8%). Cidofovir (42.1%) and conventional amphotericin B (37.0%) had the highest pooled rates of author-defined AKI. Eighty-one studies used pRIFLE, AKIN, or KDIGO AKI criteria and the pooled rates of AKI were similar to author-defined AKI rates. In conclusion, antimicrobial-associated AKI is reported to occur frequently in children, but the rates of AKI varies widely across studies and drugs. Most published studies examined hospitalized patients and heterogeneity in study populations and in author definitions of AKI are barriers to a comparison of nephrotoxicity risk among antimicrobials in children.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2023; 79:1595-1606. [PMID: 37787852 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-023-03573-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To comprehensively summarize the incidence and risk factors of drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) in children. METHODS We systematically searched seven databases from inception to November 2022. Two independent reviewers selected studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted to quantify the incidence and risk factors of DIKI in children. RESULTS A total of 69 studies comprising 195,894 pediatric patients were included. Overall, the incidence of DIKI in children was 18.2% (95%CI: 16.4%-20.1%). The incidence of DIKI in critically ill children (19.6%, 95%CI: 15.9%-23.3%) was higher than that in non-critically ill children (16.1%, 95%CI: 12.9%-19.4%). Moreover, the risk factors for DIKI in children were intensive care unit (ICU) admission (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.42-1.78, P = 0.000), treatment days (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.05, P = 0.000), surgical intervention (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.00-2.02, P = 0.048), infection (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.44-3.66, P = 0.000), patent ductus arteriosus (OR = 4.78, 95% CI: 1.82-12.57, P = 0.002), chronic kidney disease (OR = 2.78, 95% CI: 1.92-4.02, P = 0.000), combination with antibacterial agents (OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.54-2.55, P = 0.000), diuretics (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.51-2.56, P = 0.000), combination with antiviral agents (OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.11-2.04, P = 0.008), combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.40-2.28, P = 0.000), and combination with immunosuppressive agents (OR = 2.84, 95% CI: 1.47-5.47, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION The incidence of DIKI in children is high, especially in critically ill children. Identifying high-risk groups and determining safer treatments is critical to reducing the incidence of DIKI in children. In clinical practice, clinicians should adjust medication regimens for high-risk pediatric groups, such as ICU admission, some underlying diseases, combination with nephrotoxic drugs, etc., and regularly evaluate kidney function throughout treatment.
