AIM: Previous reports describing Clostridium difficile colitis (CDC) developing after the closure of a loop ileostomy suggests it is severe. In this study the incidence of CDC following ileostomy closure and its effect on the postoperative outcome have been studied. METHOD: Patients undergoing closure of loop ileostomy from 2004-2008 were analyzed using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Patients who developed postoperative CDC (n=217) were matched 10:1 to a propensity-score matched cohort of patients without CDC (n=13,245). Linear and logistic regression was used to examine the effect of CDC on hospital cost (US dollars), length of stay (LOS) and mortality rates. Population resampling was performed using nearest neighbour bootstrapping to confirm the validity of results. RESULTS: The incidence of CDC following ileostomy closure was 16/1000 patients. The mean length of stay (LOS) was 11.5 days longer among CDC patients (p<0.0001), with a greater cost of hospitalization of $21,240 (p<0.0001). There was no difference in mortality between the cohorts. CONCLUSION: CDC following ileostomy closure is an uncommon, costly and morbid complication. Patients undergoing stoma closure are at high risk for an adverse outcome if they have CDC. Should it develop they should be aggressively treated. © 2013 The Authors.
