Abstract
Despite recent reports of relatively high rates (16–37%) of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients receiving the combination of intravenous piperacillin‐tazobactam (PTZ) and vancomycin, data are limited evaluating the impact of PTZ infusion strategy on the occurrence of nephrotoxicity. The objective of this study was to compare the rates of nephrotoxicity in patients receiving vancomycin in combination with PTZ administered as an extended infusion (EI) versus a standard infusion (SI).
