The purpose of this study is to create a decision tool using ultrasound, patient history, and laboratory values to predict a diagnosis of complicated diverticulitis and whether the patient requires further imaging. The accuracy of the decision tool will be evaluated. This study will also assess the ability of ultrasound to diagnose complicated and simple diverticulitis, and the inter-provider reliability of ultrasound interpretation of diverticulitis

Ran from Feb 2023 to primary completion in Feb 2026, 35 months.
Of 22 observational studies under Diverticulitis, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 101. This study's 35 months is below that.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 19, 2026: primary completion Feb 2025 → Feb 2026 and completion Feb 2025 → Feb 2026.
