Association between Socioeconomic Status and Incidence of Community-Associated Clostridioides difficile Infection - United States, 2014-2015.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and community-associated Clostridioides difficile infection (CA-CDI) incidence across 2474 census tracts in 10 states. Highly correlated community-level SES variables were transformed into distinct factors using factor analysis. We found low SES communities were associated with higher CA-CDI incidence.
