Impact of recurrent hospitalization for Clostridioides difficile on longitudinal outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases: a nationally representative cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

Objectives

We conducted a nationally representative cohort study to evaluate the impact of recurrent CDI (rCDI)-related hospitalization on longitudinal unplanned healthcare utilization in patients with IBD.

Design

This was a retrospective cohort study that utilized the 2017 Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD).

Methods

We identified 13,446 patients with IBD, hospitalized at least twice from January to June 2017 and followed through December 2017; of these, 1,148 had CDI-related hospitalizations. We compared the annual burden of hospitalization and IBD-related surgery in IBD patients with rCDI-related admission vers
