Clostridioides difficile Infection in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients: Comparisons of Epidemiology, Testing, and Treatment from 2013 to 2019

Our study demonstrates a decrease in CDI incidence in hospitalized pediatric patients, a notable change from prior studies, although this may have been influenced by altered testing patterns. We found a high incidence of CDI in patients with cancer and gastrointestinal conditions: groups that warrant targeted evaluation of CDI prevention and treatment.
