Effect of Vancomycin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury on Incidence of 30-Day Readmissions among Hospitalized Veterans Affairs Patients with Skin and Skin Structure Infections.

Abstract

Among hospitalized adults who received vancomycin for their skin and skin structure infection (SSSI), patients who experienced acute kidney injury (AKI) had considerably higher 30-day readmission rates. Nearly half of the observed 30-day readmissions were due to non-SSSI-related reasons, which is consistent with the persistent organ dysfunction observed among patients with AKI.
