90-Day Specific Readmission for Clostridium difficile Infection After Hospitalization With an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Flare: Outcomes and Risk Factors
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have an increased risk for Clostridium difficile infection. We aimed to investigate disease-specific readmission rates and independent risk factors for CDI within 90 days of an index hospitalization for an IBD flare. Nationwide Readmission Database queried for the year 2016. 90-day specific readmission rate was 0.1% (N = 477). A total of 3,005 days were associated with readmission.
