One theory as to why IBD patients are more susceptible to CDI is the use of immunosuppressant treatments.

Cases were identified by searching the Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse.

Methylphenidate hydrochloride (Adhansia XR) was originally approved in 2019 for ADHD patients at least 6 years old.

The overall 90-day cumulative incidences of a first CDI episode was 1.9%.

Researchers found no difference between the risk of death or mechanical ventilation based on different IBD Treatments.

Strain typing data is not often available to assess whether recurrence is due to CDI relapse or reinfection.

It could take up to 10 years to develop new treatments for inflammatory bowel disease.

The treatment was well-tolerated with a safety profile consistent with previous clinical trials.
