Clostridioides difficile infections at Landspítali University Hospital 2017-2022
The incidence of CDI at Landspítali has remained stable and comparable to what has been reported in Europe during the same period. Most patients had one or more risk factors present. Most received antibiotics as treatment, most commonly metronidazole. The results of this study indicate that incidence and clinical presentation of CDI in Iceland are stable, whilst novel treatment options look promising.
