Basic Information

Brief Summary

A multicenter prospective observational study. Aim of the study is to identify the clinical parameters correlating with favorable outcomes in patients undergoing surgery or medical treatment for diverticular disease. The primary aim is be the assessment of quality of life of theses patients according to the GIQLY score at 1 year from the enrollment in the registry. Patients will be enrolled in a prospective study and followed for 36 months after the diagnosis of acute diverticulitis. All participating centres are tertiary hospitals located in Europe .

Detailed Description

All consecutive patients admitted to a Surgical Unit with a diagnosis of left-side colinic diverticulitis will be enrolled in the registry. Patients will be identified through their medical record numbers. One investigator in each center will obtain written informed consent from each patient and keep the patients updated on data collection.

Inclusion criteria: 1) imaging-proven colonic diverticular disease 2) patient aged > 18 years old; 3) Written informed consent obtained. 4) A colonoscopy showing diverticular disease will be required during the follow-up or before surgical treatment if possible Demographic and functional data will be recorded during the first surgical visit, together with a complete clinical examination. Data regarding the symptoms of presentation and quality of life will be collected and categorized. Comorbidity Index adjusted for age will be calculated for every patient, while those >70 years old will be assessed for frailty risk using the modified Frailty Index (mFI) described by Robinson et al. Relevant medications will be listed.

Setting, (emergency room vs outpatients clinic), need for admission, treatment, emergency surgery vs delayed elective surgery vs only medical management (including percutaneous drain placement) will be recorded.

Intraoperative parameters will be recorded in the registry both for emergency procedures and elective procedures, including several technical aspects such as level of inferior mesenteric artery ligtion, type of energy device used, number and type of stapler cartridge, size of circular stapler,. Use of the laparoscopy technique, conversion rate, peritoneal lavage, surgical second look will be recorded.

Histopathological examination will be recorded in terms of length of the specimen, the presence of microscopic or macroscopic abscesses, the presence of Crohn's like reaction or of lymphocyte infiltration and the eventual presence of unknown cancer.

Post-operative complications will be reported according to the Clavien-Dindo classification 15. Length of stay and post-discharge complications will be evaluated and recorded. Application of Enhanced recovery protocols will be considered only for at least 80% of the designed colo-rectal items will be satisfied.

One investigator in each center will be responsible for the follow up data. Functional follow up will be done yearly according to the GIQLY, FSFI, IIEF, ICIQ, IPSS questionnaires.

Data will be prospectively collected using a REDCAP database by the site principal investigator for each hospital. Quarterly meetings will be set between the study coordinators and the participating centers. A data manager (GP) will regularly control the quality of the data provided
