Abstract
The incidence and parameters associated with diarrhea related to clindamycin usage were studied in a population of both inpatients and outpatients. Diarrhea occurred in 66 (6.6%) of the 1,000 patients. In three of them, substantial morbidity was associated with the diarrhea. Of the multiple parameters that were evaluated, a significant association with diarrhea was found only for age (patients over the age of 20 years) (P <.01) and sex (females) (P <.005). Interestingly, dose, duration, and route of administration showed no significant relationship to diarrhea (P >.05).
