Article Synopsis
- - A study examined the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on 180-day mortality in elderly patients treated for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), finding that PPI use was linked to a 55% reduced risk of death.
- - Conducted with 874 patients aged over 65 from the Umass Memorial Health Care system, results showed a 12.4% overall mortality rate within six months, influenced by factors like age, severity of CDI, and hospital-acquired infections.
- - The conclusion suggests that while PPIs may increase the risk of CDI, their use during treatment is associated with improved survival rates in older adults.

Treatment for these patients after stabilization often involves the provision of information for outpatient treatment options. Ideally, an ED visit for overdose would present an opportunity to start treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) immediately.
