Table 3. Exploratory analysis of antibiotics as risk factors for CDI.

Risk factor for CDI- Odds ratio 95% CI p-value
CDI active antimicrobial therapy OR = 2.20 1.04–4.65 p = 0.039
Combination of Anitibiotics OR = 2.62 1.38–4.96 p = 0.003*
β-lactames/cephalosporins OR = 1.88 1.02–3.44 p = 0.042
quinolones OR = 1.33 0.76–2.35 p = 0.319
clindamycin OR = 5.29 0.9–inf** p = 0.125
folic acid antagonists OR = 9.00 1.14–71.04 p = 0.037

* significant after Bonferroni-Holm adjustment for multiple testing; ** infinite upper confidence limit, estimated by exact conditional logistic regression due to few Clindamycin patients.
