State transition diagram of patient progression through initial Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and potential recurrences in the first 12 months. The states of final cure, postcolectomy cure, and death are absorbing states, as reflected by the self-loop arrows. Any patient who is alive at the end of the 12 months is assumed to have an average life expectancy with no further risk of CDI occurrence or CDI-related death. *Death from other causes.
