Minimizing the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection as an early complication of autologous stem cell transplantation

This quality improvement project aimed to reduce institutional incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) following autologous stem cell transplantation. CDI incidence per transplant was .17 in a baseline period and .09 following the implementation of postdischarge ultraviolet room cleaning (χ(2) = 2.11, p = .15).
