The 2016 cumulative incidence of infection (CDI) in Spain was reported by the European Center for Disease Control to be above the mean of other European countries. The aim of this multicenter prospective observational cohort study was to examine the risk factors that determine 90-day CDI recurrence in Catalonia, Spain. The study included 558 consecutive adults admitted to hospital who had a symptomatic, first positive CDI diagnosis.
