PURPOSE: Clostridioides difficile is the main cause of antibiotic related diarrhea and some ribotypes (RT), such as RT027, RT181 or RT078, are considered high risk clones. A fast and reliable approach for C. difficile ribotyping is needed for a corre...
BACKGROUND: Clostridioides difficile infection results in life-threatening short-term outcomes and the potential for subsequent recurrent infection. Predicting these outcomes at diagnosis, when important clinical decisions need to be made, has proven...

INTRODUCTION: Despite research efforts, predicting Clostridioides difficile incidence and its outcomes remains challenging. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models in predicting C. difficile i...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgeries have gradually become the standard of care for many procedures, especially in the field of urology. Despite the widespread use of robotic assistance in surgeries, data on its postoperative complications are extr...
BACKGROUND: infection (CDI) is now the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections, with increasing prevalence, severity, and mortality of nosocomial and community-acquired CDI which makes up approximately one third of all CDI. There are a...
infection (CDI) is an enteric bacterial disease that is increasing in incidence worldwide. Symptoms of CDI range from mild diarrhea to severe life-threatening inflammation of the colon. While antibiotics are standard-of-care treatments for CDI, they...
