Assessment
Primary outcomes 1. Incidence of CDI
Incidence of CDI will be measured as the number of positive C. difficile tests (by any test) per 10,000 patient-days (pd) in the study wards
Attempts will be made to assess the relationship between incidence of CDI and
(a) testing density (measured as the number of test per 10,000 pd)
(b) the C. difficile laboratory tests used
(c) the ward/population type

2. CDI population characteristics, management and outcome
CDI population characteristics will be described and compared to the non CDI population
The management of CDI will be described together with the status of the patients 60 days after the onset of the disease to assess morbidity/mortality. The 60 days outcome of CDI patient will be compared to the one of non CDI patients to assess CDI related morbidity

3. Performance of NAAT, toxigenic culture and the standard laboratory tests performed in hospitals in Japan
Test results will be compared across the 3 C. difficile tests performed (in hospital laboratory or in NIID). Characteristics of individual with discrepant results and their 60 days post CDI outcome will also be described.

4. Molecular epidemiology of CDI and antibiotic susceptibility of C. difficile recovered from hospitalized patients in Japan

Typing analysis and antibiotic susceptibility testing will be performed and described.

Number of participants that the trial has enrolled 566
Results
The overall incidence of CDI was 7.4/10,000 patient-days, and the testing frequency and CDI incidence rate were highly correlated. Numerous patients with CDI are being overlooked due to inadequate testing in Japan. Risk factors for CDI in Japan were similar to those identified in the US and Europe. The analytical sensitivities of NAAT and GDH-algorithm to detect toxigenic C. difficile were lower than most previous reports. Also, this study found low PPV of EIAs for toxins.

Baseline Characteristics
A prospective cohort study of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) was conducted from May 12, 2014 to May 11, 2015 at 12 medical facilities (20 wards) located throughout 11 prefectures in Japan.  Stool specimens were collected from patients 18 years of age or older with clinically significant diarrhea (CSD), who provided consent to participate.  CSD was defined by one of the following conditions; 1) at least 3 diarrheal bowel movements (Bristol stool chart grade 6-7) in the previous 24 hours, or a diarrheal bowel movement with abdominal pain and/or cramping; 2) among patients with pre-existing chronic diarrhea, an increase of >= 3 diarrheal stools compared with the usual diarrheal frequency; 3) or the same frequency of diarrhea with new or worsening abdominal pain and/or cramping.  CDI was defined by positive result on enzyme immunoassay for toxins A/B (EIA), nucleic acid amplification test for the toxin B gene (NAAT) or toxigenic culture (TC).
Participant flow
Of the 636 CSD episodes in 566 patients enrolled, 173 (27.2%) met study criteria for CDI.  Eleven patients had multiple CDI episodes, three of whom had a new episode while eight experienced a recurrence.  Of the 566 patients, a total of 152 patients received the diagnosis of CDI at the first enrollment.

Other
Other related information Treatment and management of study participants will be based on the results of the local standard of laboratory tests performed at each hospital and assessment of the attending physician. Hospital test results, diagnosis and treatment data will be abstracted and collected.
The status of all patients tested for diarrhea (whatever the results from the laboratory test are) will be assessed through calling the patients or their caregivers, 60 days after the date of the stool sampling.
