This collection contains 36 articles on risk factors for developing clostridium difficile (aka cdiff) and/or risk stratification for development and reoccurence of cdiff.

Here is one search technique that was used to find articles in PubMed: ((“Clostridium Difficile”[Mesh] OR “clostridium difficile”[ti] OR “c diff”[ti] OR cdiff[ti]) AND (“Risk Factors”[Mesh] OR “risk factors”[ti]) AND (systematic[sb] OR Meta-Analysis[ptyp])) OR ((“Clostridium Difficile”[Mesh] OR “clostridium difficile”[ti] OR “c diff”[ti] OR cdiff[ti]) AND ((risk OR risks) AND (stratify OR stratifies OR stratified OR stratifying OR stratification)))

To access the collection and to read abstracts and access full text (where available) using the Find it @ Emory button, please first open Emory’s instance of PubMed. Once you have accessed PubMed, copy/paste the following url into the same browser window: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/collections/56047643/
