Association between Clostridioides difficile infection and multidrug-resistant organism colonization or infection among hospitalized adults: A case-control study - 22/09/20
Résumé |
Using an ambidirectional case-control study, we found that the odds of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) were 3.38 (P = .01) times higher for patients with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization compared to those without. MDRO colonization or infection 1-12 months before CDI testing significantly increased risk of positive CDI diagnosis (odds ratio 4.71, P = .02 and odds ratio = 5.03, P = .05, respectively) independent of antibiotic use, age, and comorbidity status. MDRO colonization and infection are associated with CDI, most significantly if they precede CDI.
