Vancomycin and fidaxomicin taper regimens were the most common treatment strategies employed but nearly half of patients (40/83) referred to our Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) clinic did not require further treatment. The overall 60-day CDI recurrence rate was 16.9% (11/65). CDI management at a dedicated clinic may improve clinical outcomes.
