C. difficile statistical analysis. We compared the numbers of performed C. difficile detection tests and the numbers C. difficile positive cases (antigen-positive) and C. difficile-toxin positive cases among hospitalized patients. We detected a significant increase (p < 0.0005) in COVID-19 compared to the control group in all three aspects (number of performed tests, number of CD positive cases, and number of positive CD-toxins). CD: Clostridioides difficile.
