Abstract

Receipt of antibiotics is a major risk factor for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Doxycycline has been associated with a lower risk for CDI than other antibiotics. We investigated whether doxycycline protected against development of CDI in hospitalized patients receiving ceftriaxone, a high-risk antibiotic for CDI. We studied adults admitted to an academic county hospital between 1 June 2005 and 31 December 2010 who received ceftriaxone to determine whether the additional receipt of doxycycline decreased the risk of CDI. Patients were followed from first administration of ceftriaxone to occurrence of CDI or administrative closure 30 days later. Two thousand three hundred five unique patients comprising 2734 hospitalizations were studied. Overall, 43 patients developed CDI within 30 days of ceftriaxone receipt, an incidence of 5.60 cases per 10 000 patient-days. The incidence of CDI was 1.67 cases per 10 000 patient-days in those receiving doxycycline, compared to 8.11 per 10 000 patient-days in those who did not receive doxycycline. In a multivariable model adjusted for age, gender, race, comorbidities, hospital duration, pneumonia diagnosis, surgical admission, and duration of ceftriaxone and other antibiotics, for each...Continue Reading
