The intervention reduced hospital-acquired CDI incidence by 85%, from 24.2 to 3.6 cases per 10,000 patient-days, and prolonged the median time between hospital-acquired CDI cases from 8 to 80 days.

متن کاملRisk estimation for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection based on clinical factors.
BACKGROUND The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has risen dramatically during the last decade. Although patients respond well to medical therapy such as vancomycin, 20%-30% of patients treated suffer a recurrence of CDI. METHODS We developed a simple/practical scoring rule (logistic regression model) for recurrent CDI using data from 2 large phase 3 clinical trials. Seventy-...
متن کاملDerivation and validation of a simple clinical bedside score (ATLAS) for Clostridium difficile infection which predicts response to therapy
