Abstract
CDI is associated with an almost three-fold increase in 30-day mortality and places an increased burden on hospital resources by increasing mean LOS beyond the infection date by 22.3%. The decreasing CDI mortality trends may be due to overall improvements in mortality among the general and hospital population of Scotland. Therefore, despite large declines in incidence rates, CDI remains a serious healthcare problem.
