The objectives were to determine the risk factors for recurrent healthcare facility-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (HCF-CDI) in a high CDI incidence, low antibiotic use setting and to determine if length of cefotaxime exposure is a risk factor for recurrent HCF-CDI.
The risk factors for recurrent HCF-CDI were evaluated with a retrospective nested case control study based on chart reading. The risk factors were evaluated univariately and multivariately. Length of risk antibiotic exposure was evaluated further in a subanalysis.
Risk factors for recurrent HCF-CDI were renal insufficiency (25.4% of cases compared to 15.4% of controls p = 0.006) and metronidazole treatment of initial CDI episode (88.4% compared to 71.7% p = 0.01). Exposure to cefotaxime and risk for recurrent CDI showed a dose-dependent relationship (linear by linear p = 0.028).
Renal insufficiency and metronidazole treatment were independent risk factors for recurrent HCF-CDI in our setting. The relationship between cefotaxime exposure and risk for recurrent HCF-CDI, dose-dependent, could be evaluated further in a setting with high cefotaxime use.
在高艰难梭菌感染(CDI)发生率、低抗生素使用环境中,确定复发性医疗机构相关艰难梭菌感染(HCF-CDI)的危险因素,并确定头孢噻肟暴露时间是否为复发性 HCF-CDI 的危险因素。
通过基于图表阅读的回顾性巢式病例对照研究,评估复发性 HCF-CDI 的危险因素。对危险因素进行单因素和多因素分析。在亚分析中进一步评估风险抗生素暴露时间。
复发性 HCF-CDI 的危险因素为肾功能不全(25.4%的病例与 15.4%的对照相比,p=0.006)和初始 CDI 发作时使用甲硝唑治疗(88.4%与 71.7%相比,p=0.01)。头孢噻肟暴露与 CDI 复发风险呈剂量依赖性关系(线性线性 p=0.028)。
在我们的环境中,肾功能不全和甲硝唑治疗是复发性 HCF-CDI 的独立危险因素。头孢噻肟暴露与复发性 HCF-CDI 之间的关系呈剂量依赖性,在头孢噻肟使用较高的环境中可以进一步评估。
