ABSTRACT

We evaluated the association between census tract measures of socioeconomic status and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) rates in the Denver metro area from 2016 to 2019. Social vulnerability index, poverty, and race were associated with CDI. Findings may relate to differences in chronic disease prevalence, antibiotic exposure, and access to quality care.
