ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the efficacy and nephrotoxicity of high-dosepolymyxin B (PMB) in treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) infections.

Methods:

Clinical data of 90 patients with MDR-GNB infections who admitted to the Affiliated Huaian First People′s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty one patients receivedhigh-dose PMB(≥25 000 U·kg?1·d?1) for treatment (high-dose group) and 59 patients received standard-dose PMB(<25 000 U·kg?1·d?1) for treatment (control group). The curative effect and renal function of the two groups were compared. The factors related toacute kidney injury (AKI) were analyzed with logistic regression.

Results:

The daily PMB dose and treatment course in high-dose group were (29 800±4 500) U/kg and (9.16±4.15) d, while those of the control group were (17 300±3 500)U/kg and (7.32±3.87) d ( P<0.01). The effective rate of the high-dose group was higher than that of control group (83.9% vs. 61.0%, χ2=4.95, P<0.05).The creatinine levels in high-dose group were increased significantly from 69.40(47.00, 94.70)μmol/L before treatment to 116.20(59.20, 213.20)μmol/L after treatment ( Z=-2.99, P<0.01); while there were no significant changesin control group before and after treatment [55.00(37.00, 92.47)μmol/L vs. 50.10(34.00, 156.00)μmol/L, Z=-1.78, P=0.78]. The 30-day mortality rate in the high-dose group was 32.3% (10/31), that in the standard-dose group was 49.2% (29/59)(χ2=2.36, P=0.12). The AKI incidence rate in high-dose group was higher than that in standard-dose group [ 67.7% (21/31) vs. 45.8% (27/59), χ2=3.94, P=0.04]. There were 4 and 10 deaths due to AKI in the high-dose and standard-dose groups, respectively (χ2=0.25, P=0.61). Logistic regression analysis showed that daily high-dose PMB was independently associated with AKI( OR=2.662, 95% CI1.082-6.549, P=0.03).

Conclusion:

Thehigh-dose PMB is effective in treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteriainfections, but the incidence of AKI is also significantly increased. Therefore, when using daily high-dose PMB, the pros and cons must be weighed to avoid increasing the risk of AKI.
