Cohorting Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) patients is a strategy which has not been thoroughly evaluated. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of CDI patients treated in a common isolation unit (CIU) versus those treated in their bed of diagnosis. Patients treated in the CIU showed lower mortality rates and antibiotic usage; however, a higher recurrence rate was reported.
对艰难梭菌感染(CDI)患者进行队列分组是一种尚未得到充分评估的策略。我们比较了在普通隔离病房(CIU)接受治疗的CDI患者与在诊断床位接受治疗的患者的临床特征和结局。在CIU接受治疗的患者死亡率和抗生素使用率较低;然而,报告的复发率较高。
