Table 3. Adjusted Probability of Clostridioides difficile Colonization, by Environmental Exposure and Previous Hospitalization Status.
| Exposure | Adjusted Probability of Colonization, %a | |
|---|---|---|
| Admitted to Non–Hematology-Oncology Unit With Previous Hospitalization | Admitted to Non–Hematology-Oncology Unit With No Previous Hospitalization | |
| Residential distance to nearest livestock farm, miles | ||
| 1 | 15.7 | 10.6 |
| 10 | 9.6 | 6.1 |
| 50 | 6.5 | 4.0 |

Adjusted probabilities were calculated at the individual level assuming different combinations of discrete residential distances to livestock farms and previous hospitalizations, while holding all other factors constant at their original values based on coefficients from the multivariable model shown in Table 2. Individual-level probabilities were then averaged over the entire sample of patients admitted to non–hematology-oncology units.
