Causes of death during the first 12 years after spinal cord injury

Risk Factors for Clostridium difficile Carriage and C. difficile-Associated Diarrhea in a Cohort of Hospitalized Patients
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 399 consecutive patients in a single ward over an 11-month period was conducted to identify risk factors for nosocomial C. difficile colonization and diarrhea.
