To compare Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) incidence rates during a 6-year period among five geographically diverse academic medical centers across the United States using recommended standardized CDI surveillance definitions that incorporate recent healthcare facility (HCF) exposures. Data on C. difficile toxin assay results and dates of admission, discharge and assays were collected from electronic hospital databases. Chart review was performed for patients with a positive C. difficile toxin assay identified within 48 hrs of admission to determine HCF exposures in the 90 days prior to hospital admission. CDI cases, defined as any inpatient with a positive stool toxin assay for C. difficile, were categorized into five surveillance definitions based on recent HCF exposure. Annual CDI rates were calculated and evaluated with chi-square test for trend and chi-square summary tests. Over the study period, there were significant increases in the overall incidence rates of hospital-onset, HCF-associated CDI (7.0 to 8.5 cases/10,000 patient days (p < 0.001)); community-onset, HCF-associated – study hospital CDI (1.1 to 1.3 cases/10,000 patient-days (p = 0.003)); and community-onset, HCF-associated – other HCF CDI (0.8 to 1.5 cases/1,000 admissions overall (p < 0.001)). For each CDI surveillance definition, there were significant differences in total incidence rates between institutions. The increasing incidence rates of CDI over time and across institutions, and correlation of CDI incidence in different categories suggest that CDI may be a regional problem, and not isolated to single healthcare facilities.
