Disparities in the incidence of community-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection: An area-based assessment of the role of social determinants in Bernalillo County, New Mexico

摘要

Background: Community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CA-CDIs) share many risk factors with health care-associated cases, although the role of socioeconomic factors is poorly understood. This study estimates the influence of several census tract-level measures of socioeconomic status on CA-CDI incidence rates.
