About This Initiative
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection and the most common cause of mortality in patients with gastroenteritis in the United States. Historically, approximately one in four patients suffer from recurrent CDI, which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs, and decreased quality of life. . Recent updates to national guidelines place a greater emphasis on recurrence prevention. This series explores these guideline updates and their application in special patient populations, with a focus on those at high risk for recurrent CDI.
