Methods  We compared time from hospital admission to death in a probability sample of 100  Clostridium difficile  infected cases and a probability sample of 98 non-cases admitted to an English teaching hospital between 2005 and 2007 with follow up in the UK national death register using survival analysis.    Results   Clostridium difficile  infection was associated with a 50% increased risk of death (Hazard Ratio 1.51 (95% CI: 1.05–2.19 p = 0.03) at between five to eight years in Cox Regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index, diagnosis of a malignant condition and insertion of a nasogastric tube during admission. Acquisition of  Clostridium difficile  infection was independently associated with an almost six fold higher odds of being admitted with a diagnosis of infection of any other type (OR 5.79 (2.19, 15.25) p<0.001).    Conclusions  Our results strongly support continued priority being given to improve prevention and treatment of  Clostridium difficile  infection in the English National Health Service particularly in patients admitted with an infection. Our results may be applicable to other health systems.
