To determine the incidence of Clostridium difficile infection during 2007, we examined infection in adult inpatient and outpatient members of a managed-care organization. Incidence was 14.9 C. difficile infections per 10,000 patient-years. Extrapolating this rate to US adults, we estimate that 284,875 C. difficile infections occurred during 2007.
为了确定 2007 年艰难梭菌感染的发生率,我们检测了一家管理式医疗组织中成年住院患者和门诊患者的感染情况。艰难梭菌感染的发生率为每 10000 患者-年 14.9 例。将这一比率外推至美国成年人,我们估计 2007 年有 284875 例艰难梭菌感染。
