Adjusted (A) and unadjusted (B) odds of CDI for cancer patients with solid tumor compared with non–cancer patients. Stage is based on Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results historic staging variable. aOR estimates were generated from a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, race geographic region, urban/rural location, prior hospitalization, and prior skilled nursing stay. Non–cancer patients serve as the reference group, indicated by the reference line at 1.0. Error bars indicate
