ATLAS Score for Clostridium Difficile Infection

• No definitive management recommendations have been made based on ATLAS score results.
• For lower scores: Consider less intensive treatment and possible outpatient management, if the patient is clinically stable.
• For higher scores: Escalate care, potentially involving infectious disease consultation, hospitalization, or ICU care if warranted.
• Use alongside clinical judgment; the score complements, but does not replace, bedside evaluation.

For detailed treatment recommendations, please refer to clinical guidelines from the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, and the Infectious Disease Society of America/Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
