An observational study in Diverticulosis, Colonic, Abdominal Adhesion and Diverticulitis, sponsored by Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in Israel. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-26.
Sponsored by Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center · Observational
Background \& Aims:
Abnormal colonic pressure profiles have been associated with an increased risk of colonic diverticulosis. A surgical history is a known risk factor for abdominal adhesions, and these may lead to increased intraluminal colonic pressure. We assessed whether previous abdominal surgery is associated with colonic diverticulosis or diverticulitis.
Methods:
The investigators analyzed data from a prospective study of patients undergoing colonoscopy for different indications from 2020 through 2021. Patients completed a structured questionnaire concerning previous abdominal surgeries, dietary and lifestyle exposures including smoking and alcohol use, and co-morbidities.
23 studies on the registry are indexed under Diverticulosis, Colonic; 4 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 359 is above the median of 225 across 10 observational studies indexed under Diverticulosis, Colonic.
