Individual risk : Clinical and epidemiological studies show the risk of C diff among hospitalized patients about 10% and considered lower risk in outpatients. Some observational studies report outpatient cases are rising and risk on par with inpatients but observational studies are not good for drawing medical scientific conclusions. We need randomized clinical trials. Benefits of Rx vs. risks and probiotics valued
