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.
