ABSTRACT
Clostridium difficile occurs both inside and outside of health care facilities, but surveillance has been traditionally limited to the hospital setting. To measure the population-based burden of C difficile infection (CDI), we used multiple routine sources of data. We found an overall rate of CDI in Massachusetts in 2016 of 132.5 per 100,000 population, with mortality in 2014 of 6.4 per 100,000 population. Population-based measurement of CDI burden appears feasible without conducting a special study.
