Association of C. difficile positive rate with different age and hospitalization days. a. Association between C. difficile positive rate and different age groups. Note: Patients were categorized into five groups of different ages, showing in the figure as positive number/total number of samples in each group. Patients younger than 50 years old had a significantly higher positive rate than the older groups (p = 0.04). b. Subdivision of C. difficile positive rate by age and days of hospitalization. Note: Patients were organized into two age groups by the cutoff value of 50 years old. Each age group was then subdivided into two groups based on the number of days in hospital (≤10 days or >10 days). *: The C. difficile positive rate was significantly different between the group that was <50 years old and hospitalized >10 days compared to the group that was ≥ 50 years old and hospitalized ≤10 days (35.0% vs. 12.7%, p = 0.0009).
