TABLE 2.

Comparison of clinical characteristics of patients between two groups of RT002^a^,c

	RT002: 2009–2017 (n = 348)	RT002: 2017–2021 (n = 263)
Age	72.14 (57.93–81.56)	72.77 (59.11–82.15)
Men	155/348 (44.54)	143/263 (54.37) P = 0.015^b
Severe CDI	88/325 (27.08)	40/259 (15.44) P < 0.001^b
Complicated course	48/290 (16.55)	28/250 (11.20)
CDI mortality	13/290 (4.48)	5/250 (2.00)

^{^a}

Data are shown as no. of cases (%) or, for age, as median (Q1–Q3) due to skewed distribution.

^{^b}

P < 0.05 after correction for antibiotic use.

^{^c}

P < 0.05 after correction for age and antibiotic use. An adjusted alpha level (α = 0.005) was used for severe CDI and CDI-related mortality. The supplementary material includes a detailed table of clinical characteristics and a combined heatmap visualizing the pattern of these characteristics across the RT groups.
