The epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among oncology inpatients is poorly understood. In multivariate analysis we identified age, history of CDI, and prior receipt of cephalosporins, β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors, metronidazole, and blood transfusion as risk factors associated with CDI. Reducing broad-spectrum antibiotic use, particularly among older patients and those with a CDI history and recent blood transfusions, may decrease CDI risk in this population.
艰难梭菌感染(CDI)在肿瘤住院患者中的流行病学情况尚不清楚。在多变量分析中,我们确定年龄、CDI病史以及先前使用头孢菌素、β-内酰胺/β-内酰胺酶抑制剂、甲硝唑和输血为与CDI相关的危险因素。减少广谱抗生素的使用,尤其是在老年患者、有CDI病史的患者以及近期接受输血的患者中减少使用,可能会降低该人群发生CDI的风险。
