Limited and wide-ranging data are available on the recurrent infection (rCDI) incidence rate.
We performed a cohort study with the aim to assess the incidence of and risk factors for rCDI. Adult patients with a first CDI, hospitalized in 15 Italian hospitals, were prospectively included and followed-up for 30 d after the end of antimicrobial treatment for their first CDI. A case-control study was performed to identify risk factors associated with 30-day onset rCDI.
Three hundred nine patients with a first CDI were included in the study; 32% of the CDI episodes (99/309) were severe/complicated; complete follow-up was available for 288 patients (19 died during the first CDI episode, and 2 were lost during follow-up). At the end of the study, the crude all-cause mortality rate was 10.7% (33 deaths/309 patients). Two hundred seventy-one patients completed the follow-up; rCDI occurred in 21% of patients (56/271) with an incidence rate of 72/10,000 patient-days. Logistic regression analysis identified exposure to cephalosporin as an independent risk factor associated with rCDI (RR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1-2.7, = 0.03).
Our study confirms the relevance of rCDI in terms of morbidity and mortality and provides a reliable estimation of its incidence.
关于复发性艰难梭菌感染(rCDI)发病率的可用数据有限且范围广泛。
我们进行了一项队列研究,旨在评估rCDI的发病率及危险因素。前瞻性纳入了在15家意大利医院住院的首次发生艰难梭菌感染(CDI)的成年患者,并在其首次CDI抗菌治疗结束后进行30天的随访。进行了一项病例对照研究以确定与30天内发生rCDI相关的危险因素。
309例首次发生CDI的患者纳入研究;32%的CDI发作(99/309)为重度/复杂性发作;288例患者获得了完整随访(19例在首次CDI发作期间死亡,2例在随访期间失访)。研究结束时,全因粗死亡率为10.7%(33例死亡/309例患者)。271例患者完成随访;21%的患者(56/271)发生rCDI,发病率为72/10000患者日。逻辑回归分析确定使用头孢菌素是与rCDI相关的独立危险因素(相对危险度:1.7;95%可信区间:1.1 - 2.7,P = 0.03)。
我们的研究证实了rCDI在发病率和死亡率方面的相关性,并提供了其发病率的可靠估计。
