Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The aims of this multi-centre service evaluation are therefore to:
* Determine the prevalence of hospital-onset diarrhoea on adult medical, surgical and care of the elderly wards in the NHS
* Investigate how hospital-onset diarrhoea is managed, including whether patients are tested for CDI according to Department of Health (DoH) England standards
* Investigate the aetiology of hospital-onset diarrhoea on adult medical, surgical and care of the elderly wards in the NHS, based on previously described causes
Data will be collected at participating centres on two days, one between 11-15/Jan/2016 and one between 6-10/Jun/2016. Hospitals will be able to choose locally which two days. On those days investigators from the local Microbiology and/or Infection Prevention teams will screen all patients on pre-identified wards, who have been admitted for ≥72 hours, for hospital-onset diarrhoea. For all patients that meet the definition of hospital-onset diarrhoea their medical notes and charts will be reviewed, to ascertain potential causes and how they have been managed.
This service evaluation should help participating hospitals to investigate hospital-onset diarrhoea in their own institutions, as well as generating a dataset that is representative of the problem across the NHS, and therefore of use to other centres.
