In this cross-sectional population-based study, women had significantly higher crude incidence rates of both community-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (CA-CDI) and ambulatory antibiotic prescriptions compared to men in South Carolina in 2015. After adjustments for antibiotic prescription rates, there was no difference in the incidence rates of CA-CDI between the genders.
在这项基于人群的横断面研究中,2015 年在南卡罗来纳州,女性社区获得性艰难梭菌感染(CA-CDI)和非住院抗生素处方的粗发病率明显高于男性。在调整抗生素处方率后,两性之间 CA-CDI 的发病率没有差异。
