Epidemiologic validation of the National Healthcare Safety Network's updated Clostridioides difficile test method definition.
This longitudinal survey examined the effect of the National Healthcare Safety Network's (NHSN) recently updated Clostridioides difficile test method definition on reporting of hospital-onset C. difficile. Among six hospitals with ≥ 5 years of data available, the updated NHSN definition was associated with improved concordance between predicted versus reported cases.
