Clostridiodies difficile infection (CDI) has been characterized by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as an urgent public health threat and a major concern in hospital, outpatient and extended-care facilities worldwide.
A retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥ 18 hospitalized with CDI in New York State (NYS) between January 1, 2014-December 31, 2016. Data were extracted from NY Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative (SPARCS) and propensity score matching was performed to achieve comparability of the CDI (exposure) and non-CDI (non-exposure) groups. Of the 3,714,486 hospitalizations, 28,874 incidence CDI cases were successfully matched to 28,874 non-exposures.
The matched pairs comparison demonstrated that CDI cases were more likely to be readmitted to the hospital at 30 (28.26% vs. 19.46%), 60 (37.65% vs. 26.02%), 90 (42.93% vs. 30.43) and 120 days (46.47% vs. 33.74), had greater mortality rates at 7 (3.68% vs. 2.0%) and 180 days (20.54% vs. 11.96%), with significant increases in length of stay and total hospital charges (p < .001, respectively).
CDI is associated with a large burden on patients and health care systems, significantly increasing hospital utilization, costs and mortality.
疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)将艰难梭菌感染(CDI)定义为一种紧急的公共卫生威胁,也是全球医院、门诊和长期护理机构的主要关注点。
这是一项回顾性队列研究,纳入了 2014 年 1 月 1 日至 2016 年 12 月 31 日期间在纽约州(NYS)住院治疗 CDI 的年龄≥18 岁的患者。数据来自 NYS 全州规划和研究合作组织(SPARCS),采用倾向评分匹配来实现 CDI(暴露)和非 CDI(非暴露)组的可比性。在 3714486 例住院患者中,成功匹配了 28874 例 CDI 发生率病例和 28874 例非暴露病例。
匹配对比较表明,CDI 病例在 30 天(28.26% vs. 19.46%)、60 天(37.65% vs. 26.02%)、90 天(42.93% vs. 30.43%)和 120 天(46.47% vs. 33.74%)时更有可能再次住院,7 天(3.68% vs. 2.0%)和 180 天(20.54% vs. 11.96%)时死亡率更高,且住院时间和总住院费用显著增加(均 p<0.001)。
CDI 给患者和医疗系统带来了巨大负担,显著增加了医院的利用率、成本和死亡率。
