The following table contains the main risk factors for CDI:[1][2][3][2][2]

Severity of the disease
Mild: diarrhea as the only symptom
Moderate: raised white cell count but <15,000 cells/mL and serum creatine <1.5 times baseline
Severe: leucocytosis >15,000 cells/mL OR serum creatinene level >1.5 times baseline or abdominal tenderness and serum albumin < 3 g/dL
Severe complicated: hypotension or shock, ileus, megacolon, leucocytosis >20,000 cells/mL OR leucopenia <2,000, lactate >2.2 mmol/L, delirium, fever ≥ 38.5 °C, organ failure
