Risk factors for acute kidney injury associated with intravenous acyclovir in older adults: ACICLOAGED study
In adults aged 75 years or more treated with intravenous acyclovir for suspected meningoencephalitis, frailty was a strong and independent predictor of acute kidney injury, whereas chronological age and baseline renal function were not. Incorporating frailty assessment into clinical decision-making may help identify patients at higher risk and guide preventive strategies.
