C. Diff-erently: evaluating the association of inappropriate antibiotic use with hospital-onset <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> infection
Hospital-onset <i>C. difficile</i> infection (HO-CDI) remains a common cause of healthcare-associated infection. This study evaluated antibiotic use (AU) and appropriateness in hospital-onset <i>C. difficile</i> cases compared to matched controls in an inpatient setting at a New York City hospital. Elevated or inappropriate AU was not associated with HO-CDI.
