Abstract
- Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at increased risk of Clostridioides difficileinfection (CDI). For certain SOT recipients, an association between CDI and allograft loss, rejection, and mortality has been shown. Although limited by sample size, the authors observed that early CDI was not associated with those outcomes in their single-center investigation. Multicenter studies are merited to explore risk factors for CDI and associations with transplant-related outcomes in intestinal and multivisceral transplant recipients.
