In a population of US adults under 65 years old, the highest costs of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) were found in individuals who acquired the infection in a hospital setting, while the lowest costs were observed in those with community-associated CDI treated outside of a hospital. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing additional CDI prevention strategies in younger adults.
In a US adult population aged <65 years, attributable costs due to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) were highest in persons with hospital onset and lowest in those with community-associated CDI treated outside a hospital. The economic burden of CDI in younger adults underscores the need for additional CDI-preventive strategies.
