Epidemiologic Trends in Clostridioides difficile Infections in a Regional Community Hospital Network.
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) remains a leading cause of health care facility-associated infection. A greater understanding of the regional epidemiologic profile of CDI could inform targeted prevention strategies. ⋯ The findings suggest that, despite the modest improvement in health care facility-associated CDI rates, a better understanding of community-acquired CDI incidence is needed for future infection prevention efforts.
