Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major public health threat. While clinical prediction tools exist, they do not incorporate the newest Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines. Prospective longitudinal study of patients experiencing their first episode of uncomplicated CDI. Patients were followed from diagnosis through 8 weeks post completion of their anti-CDI therapy to assess recurrence. Stool was collected at diagnosis and weekly for 8-weeks following treatment. Recurrence was defined as diarrhea as well as a positive stool test by toxin EIA (EIA) for C. difficile. Fisher’s exact test for binary variables and student’s t-test for continuous variables were performed. Cox regression was performed to assess for predictors of CDI recurrence. 75 patients were enrolled between Aug 1, 2015 and Sept 1, 2018. Mean age 58.1 years +/− 15.5, 69.3% female, 74.7% were white, 11.3% had baseline irritable bowel syndrome, and 54.7% were actively using PPIs. Over the 8-week follow up period 22 patients developed a confirmed CDI recurrence. Univariate predictors of recurrence included treatment with metronidazole (40.9% vs 15.1%, p=0.03), initially diagnosis by EIA (77.3% vs 43.4%, p=0.007) and platelet count (206 +/− 72.1 vs 270.9 +/− 114.8, p=0.03). A cox regression model revealed primary diagnosis by EIA (HR 3.39, 95%CI 1.23, 9.31, p=0.018) and treatment with metronidazole (HR 3.27 95% CI 1.31–8.19, p=0.01) remain predictors for CDI recurrence. In a large prospective longitudinal cohort of uncomplicated CDI patients, treatment with metronidazole, and diagnosis via EIA were the most robust predictors of CDI recurrence.
