Outcomes of<i>Clostridioides difficile</i>infection in adult cancer and non-cancer patients hospitalised in a tertiary hospital: a prospective cohort study

Abstract

Patients with haematological malignancy were exposed to different risk factors for CDI associated with mortality compared with patients with solid tumours and non-cancer patients. Older age, ICU stay and mechanical ventilation, but not presence or type of cancer, predicted the all-cause 30-day mortality.
