ABSTRACT
This case series and propensity-matched cohort study on the use of tigecycline in Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) evaluated the effect of tigecycline on 30-day mortality. Adjusted for ATLAS Score, hypotension, treatment time period, and serum lactate, tigecycline did not significantly improve 30-day mortality (odds ratio 0.89; 95% confidence interval 0.25-3.12; P = 0.853). A randomized controlled trial is needed to determine efficacy and safety of tigecycline in severe or refractory CDI.
