A preliminary study of bowel rest strategy in the management of Clostridioides difficile infection

Abstract Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is an important nosocomial infection and is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. We aimed to assess the effect of bowel rest on the management of CDI. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted. The primary...
