Abstract	:	Introduction: The management of sepsis includes the prompt administration of intravenous antibiotics.There is concern that sepsis treatment protocols may be inaccurate in identifying true sepsis andexposing patients to potentially harmful antibiotics, sometimes unnecessarily. This study was designed toinvestigate those concerns by focusing on in-hospital Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which is a knowncomplication of exposure to antibiotics.
