Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the economic impact of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Italy, particularly in the Florence health care system, highlighting the lack of research on the economic costs associated with CDI.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 69 patients hospitalized with CDI in 2013, revealing an average hospitalization duration of 12.8 days and a significant average cost of €3,270.52 per patient.
- The findings indicate that prolonged hospital stays contribute the most to these costs, emphasizing the need for better diagnostic and treatment strategies to manage CDI effectively.
