An Economic Analysis of Strategies to Control Clostridium Difficile Transmission and Infection Using an Agent-Based Simulation Model
BACKGROUND: A number of strategies exist to reduce Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) transmission. We conducted an economic evaluation of “bundling” these strategies together. METHODS: We constructed an agent-based computer simulation of nosocomial C. difficile transmission and infection in a hos...
