Abstract
Clostridium difficile-related hospitalizations among US adults, 2006.
Highlights
The rate of growth in Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD)-related hospitalizations slowed in 2006, with a crude volume increase of 6.7% over 2005; the difference in the raw volume from 2005 through 2006 did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.33)
The volume of CDAD principal diagnosis had not previously exceeded 25% of total CDAD-related hospitalizations [1], in 2006 this proportion increased to 28% (Table)
In examining CDAD hospitalization trends regionally, in the Northeast I found a directional reduction in incidence at both the total hospitalizations level and population level
