Prédire et prévenir les infections à Clostridioides difficile : une méta-analyse positive

Meta-analysis of predictors of healthcare-associated Clostridioides difficile infection

Our systematic review and meta-analysis of 40 studies (n=3,905,559) identified gastric acid suppressants, recent hospitalization, antibiotic exposure, and certain comorbidities as independent predictors of healthcare-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (HA-CDI) among adult inpatients. Targeted antibiotic stewardship and judicious use of gastric acid suppressants can reduce the incidence of HA-CDI.
