C. difficile and CMV outcomes by biologic group

CDI Outcomes Vedolizumab Anti-TNFα P-value
CDI, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) 5.6 37.9 0.001
Severe CDI, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) 2.8 10.2 0.18
CDI hospitalization, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) 5.6 21.3 0.042
Colectomy within 30 days after CDI, fraction (%) 0/2 (0.0%) 1/41 (2.4%) 1.00
Death within 30 days after CDI, fraction (%) 0/2 (0.0%) 0/41 (0.0%) 1.00
Antibiotics within 30 days prior to CDI, fraction (%) 0/2 (0.0%) 3/41 (7.3%) 1.00
Systemic corticosteroids within 30 days prior to CDI, fraction (%) 1/2 (50.0%) 28/41 (68.3%) 1.00
CMV Outcomes Vedolizumab Anti-TNFα --
CMVC, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) 0 4.5 --
CMVC hospitalization, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) 0 3.6 --
Colectomy within 30 days after CMVC, fraction (%)§ -- 1/5 (20.0%) --
Death within 30 days after CMVC, fraction (%)§ -- 0/5 (0.0%) --

All p-values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test for categorical data except for CDI, severe CDI, CDI hospitalization, which were calculated using the log-rank test. Due to the small number of CMVC outcomes, p-values were not calculated to compare biologic groups.

Denominator for these outcomes includes only patients who developed CDI (i.e. n=2 for vedolizumab, n=41 for anti-TNFα)
