This study demonstrates that fidaxomicin is superior to metronidazole or vancomycin in the treatment of the initial episode, first recurrence, and non-severe cases of Clostridioides difficile infection.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different antibiotic regimens for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) with regard to the CDI episode number and disease severity. Methods: An observation cohort study included 271 CDI patients hospitalised between 2013-2016. Univariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between patients' clinical outcome (sustained clinical cure or recurrence) in a 60-day follow-up and the antibiotic regimen used (oral metronidazole, oral vancomycin, combination of oral vancomycin and metronidazole, oral fidaxomicin). Subgroup analyses, based on CDI episode number and severity, were performed. Results: In the overall population, fidaxomicin was superior to metronidazole, vancomycin or their combination, for a sustained clinical response and in the prevention of recurrent CDI (rCDI). In the subgroup analyses, fidaxomicin was superior to vancomycin or metronidazole for a sustained clinical response and in the prevention of rCDI in the initial episode, first recurrence and non-severe cases. In the oral treatment of severe CDI, fidaxomicin had a similar treatment outcome to vancomycin and none of the antibiotic treatments were superior in the prevention of rCDI. Fidaxomicin, vancomycin, or a combination of metronidazole and vancomycin, had similar outcomes for sustained clinical response and prevention of rCDI in patients with multiple rCDI. Conclusion: Fidaxomicin was superior to metronidazole or vancomycin for the treatment of the initial episode, first recurrence, and non-severe CDI. (c) 2020 The Authors.
