Clostridium difficile classification overestimates hospital-acquired infections.

Summary
Current guidelines for classifying C. difficile infections overestimate the proportion of cases acquired in hospital in all model scenarios and the recommended two-day cut-off overestimated the incidence of hospital- acquired cases in all scenarios and by >100% in the base scenario.
