Abstract
Hospital CDI was associated with an increased risk of hospital mortality, especially in 30-day mortality. In addition, when compared with past years, CDI patients have a higher risk of hospital mortality in the most recent 5 years. Given the rapid dissemination of this organism worldwide, there is a need to aggressively develop and evaluate primary preventive strategies targeting CDI among hospitalized patients, especially in ICUs.
