Clinical characteristics and risk factors of Clostridioides difficile infection in children with diarrhoea by Ning Wang, Kun Jiang, Jinyue Huang, Mengzhu Hou, Lu Wang, Wei Wang, Yulian Fang

“…Multi-factor logistic regression analysis was used to show that a history of hospitalisation within the last three months, a history of antibiotic treatment for ≥7 days, non-breastfeeding, and a history of antibiotic combined with probiotic treatment were risk factors for CDI in children with diarrhoea (P < 0.05).ConclusionsA history of hospitalisation within the last three months, previous antibiotic treatment for ≥7 days or combined with probiotic treatment, and non-breastfeeding are risk factors for CDI in children with diarrhoea, so children with diarrhoea who present as described above need to be alerted to CDI and are advised to have active investigations to facilitate rapid and effective control of the disease and improve prognosis.…”
