Patients treated with VAN received insufficient monitoring of SCr and inadequate therapeutic drug monitoring. We recommend that hospitals increase their investment in clinical pharmacists. An elevated baseline eGFR and concomitant vasopressor therapy, nitrate use, imipenem-cilastatin treatment, and contrast medium administration were independent risk factors for VA-AKI; in addition, orthopedic/trauma/burn surgery and concomitant compound glycyrrhizin use were independent protective factors for VA-AKI.
