3 -CDI project structure

4 EPI- CLIN- LAB- All networks will collaboratively identify hospitals of interest s will be from North, South, East and West Europe

5 EPI- CLIN- LAB- on test days (regardless of test requested) will be tested at a European central laboratory using recommended optimal testing methodology to find true burden of CDI

6 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Isolates of C. difficile identified from the community and hospital will be sent for further analysis; including PCRribotyping and whole genome sequencing to identify factors that may be driving clustering of strains Strains sent for analysis O1.2

7 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Retrospective data collection for risk factors O1.4 Clinical report form deigned to capture data for risk factor analysis and outcome data on all positive (ECL defined) and a proportion of negative ; completed 6 months after sample collection date Follow up for 6 months; outcome data O1.3 Strains sent for analysis O1.2

8 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Retrospective data collection for risk factors O1.4 Transmission modelling O1.5 Follow up for 6 months; outcome data O1.3 Strains sent for analysis O1.2 All data from, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 will be used for the transmission modelling analysis in O1.5

9 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Questionnaire for hospital/laboratory; Provides data for O2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 Retrospective data collection for risk factors O1.4 Transmission modelling O1.5 Follow up for 6 months; outcome s will complete a questionnaire to enhance current ECDC data regarding ; Testing policy and methodology Surveillance practices Guidelines available and compliance severe patient stratification. Data uploaded to central website Provides data for O2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 data O1.3 Strains sent for analysis O1.2

10 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Questionnaire for hospital/laboratory; Provides data for O2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 Retrospective data collection for risk factors O1.4 Transmission modelling O1.5 Follow up for 6 months; outcome data O1.3 Strains sent for analysis O1.2 All data from previous objectives in WP1 and WP2 will be fed into the cost effectiveness objectives in 2.5 and 2.6 Costs and cost effectiveness O2.5, 2.6

11 EPI- CLIN- LAB- Questionnaire for hospital/laboratory; Provides data for O2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 Retrospective data collection for risk factors O1.4 Transmission modelling O1.5 Follow up for 6 months; outcome data O1.3 Strains sent for analysis O1.2 This synergistic approach will enable completion of all objectives from WP1 and WP2 Costs and cost effectiveness O2.5, 2.6
