Abstract
[This corrects the article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.9195.].
Highlights
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of nosocomial infection, resulting in a significant healthcare burden, morbidity, and mortality [1]
The odds of stroke were significantly higher in patients with CDI and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
While the rate of healthcare-associated CDI decreased in the United States between 2011-2017 by an estimated 36%, the rate of community-associated CDI has not changed in that time and accounts for nearly half of all infections [8]
Summary
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with high mortality. Studies have shown an increased rate of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with CDI. Literature regarding the impact of CDI on outcomes of VTE-related hospitalizations is scarce. Our study aimed to assess the impact of CDI on inhospital outcomes among VTE hospitalizations
