- Abstract
Evidence for the association between Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) and the use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is unclear. This study investigated the relationship between Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) and exposure to acid suppressive therapy in hospitalized adult patients while controlling for the most common predisposing risk factors.
