Population-based study of outcomes following an initial acute diverticular abscess

British Journal of Surgery Nov 11, 2018

Aquina CT, et al. - Researchers performed this observational cohort study to assess outcomes between elective colectomy vs non-operative management after admission for an initial acute diverticular abscess. They analyzed the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System for unscheduled admissions for an initial acute diverticular abscess in 2002–2010 to compare stoma rates and use of healthcare in patients who had an elective resection and those receiving non-operative management. Outcomes revealed observation without elective colectomy after resolution of an initial diverticular abscess was a reasonable option with lower healthcare costs than operation.
