| 1 | Clostridioides difficile infection in liver cirrhosis patients: A population-based study in United States显示文摘BACKGROUND Clostridioides(formerly Clostridium)difficile infection(CDI)is an increasingly frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients.Multiple risk factors are documented in the literature that includes,but are not limited to,antibiotics use,advanced age,and gastric acid suppression.Several epidemiological studies have reported an increased incidence of CDI in advanced liver disease patients.Some have also demonstrated a higher prevalence of nosocomial infections in cirrhotic patients.AIM To use a large nationwide database,we sought to determine CDI’s risk among liver cirrhosis patients in the United States.METHODS We queried a commercial database(Explorys Inc^(TM),Cleveland,OH,United States),and obtained an aggregate of electronic health record data from 26 major integrated United States healthcare systems comprising 360 hospitals in the United States from 2018 to 2021.Diagnoses were organized into the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms(SNOMED–CT)hierarchy.Statistical analysis for the multivariable model was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS version 25,IBM CorpTM).For all analyses,a two-sided P value of<0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS There were a total of 19387760 patients in the database who were above 20 years of age between the years 2018-2021.Of those,133400 were diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.The prevalence of CDI amongst the liver cirrhosis population was 134.93 per 100.000 vs 19.06 per 100.000 in non-cirrhotic patients(P<0.0001).The multivariate analysis model uncovered that cirrhotic patients were more likely to develop CDI(OR:1.857;95%CI:1.665-2.113,P<0.0001)compared to those without any prior history of liver cirrhosis.CONCLUSION In this large database study,we uncovered that cirrhotic patients have a significantly higher CDI prevalence than those without cirrhosis.Liver cirrhosis may be an independent risk factor for CDI.Further prospective studies are needed to clarify this possible risk association that may lead to the implementation of screening methods in this high-risk population. | Syeda Sahra Mohammad Abureesh Shivantha Amamath Motasem Alkhayyat Rawan Badran Abdullah Jahangir Vivek Gumaste | 2021 | World Journal of Hepatology2021，13，8： | 1 |
