The incidence of acute diverticulitis (AD), conservative vs. surgical treatment and outcome of patients are studied using national registries and patient charts from two hospitals between years 2009-19.
Acute diverticulitis (AD) of colon is increasing in Finland. Incidence, prevalence and mortality of AD of colon are investigated during 10-year period (2009-2019) in whole country. Epidemiological data is compared to data of acute appendicitis. Nationwide data of patients with AD are asked from Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). To compare registry-based nationwide data, patient charts from electronic database of two hospitals (Mikkeli Central Hospital and Tampere University Hospital) are reviewed from same study period. Patient characteristics, medication, treatment (conservative vs surgery), recurrence of AD and long-term outcome are recorded.
125 studies on the registry are indexed under Diverticulitis; 22 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 15,000 is above the median of 275 across 59 observational studies indexed under Diverticulitis.
