Table 3.

Outcomes of each cohort in terms of PJI and nephrotoxicity rates (based on both ICD-9 coding and elevations in serum creatinine)

Outcomes Underdosed (n = 1130) Adequately dosed (n = 518) Overdosed (n = 180) p value
PJI rate 1.77% (20) 1.74% (9) 1.67% (3) 0.995
Nephrotoxicity rate (ICD-9 coding) 1.06% (12) 0.97% (5) 2.22% (4) 0.363
AKI rate (1.5 × preoperative serum Cr or elevation by 0.3) 2.48% (28) 1.93% (10) 3.33% (6) 0.561

PJI = periprosthetic joint infection; ICD-9 = International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision; AKI = acute kidney injury; Cr = creatinine.
