NCT06388538
Since it is still debated whether 2b acute diverticulitis (AD), according to the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) classification, should be initially treated surgically or conservatively, the COLD2B study has been launched to compare the clinical results of both therapeutic regimens in a multi-institutional cohort of prospectively enrolled patients. The primary aim of the COLD2B (Conservative vs surgical (either Open or Laparoscopic) approach in the emergency management of acute Diverticulitis WSES 2B) study is to develop a model able to predict the length of hospitalization, comparing the management of WSES 2b AD in the emergency setting (conservative versus surgical approach) (primary endpoint of the first arm of the study). Moreover, the two groups will be compared regarding mortality and morbidity (secondary end-point). The second arm of the study will consider the population undergoing surgery, develop a model able to predict the length of hospitalization, and compare the open vs laparoscopic approach (primary end-point), and mortality, morbidity, and surgical outcome indices (secondary end-point).
NCT06344078
This study will include data collected from surgical units performing emergency surgery in Italy during 2024, with a one-year follow-up period for each patient. Data for each center will be prospectively collected through a database filled out by the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR) members who participate to the study. Specific data will include: WSES diverticulitis classification, procedure timing, laparoscopic/converted procedures, rate of performed protection ileostomies or colostomies, rate and timing of Hartmann reversal or stoma closure, procedures with more than two operators, procedures with expert first operator, night or weekend procedures, and patients aged over 80. Postoperative data will focus on complication rates and mortality at one, six, and twelve months.
NCT04663490
Introduction: Various biomarkers have been studied to predict the severity of acute diverticulitis (AD), such as the leukocyte count and CRP, which are useful but lack sufficient sensitivity. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been identified as a new inflammatory biomarker in several abdominal pathologies. However, few studies determine its association with the severity of AD. The objective of the present study was to determine the utility and diagnostic precision of NLR in complicated acute diverticulitis (cAD). Material and methods: Descriptive, retrospective and analytical study. Patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of AD were included, from 2013 - 2018. Demographic variables, days of hospitalization, leukocyte count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, ESR, CRP, and NLR were analyzed. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of cAD were determined using ROC curves.
NCT02785549
Patients with mild acute diverticulitis (modified Neff 0 grade), following the inclusion criteria and giving informed consent, will be included in the study protocol and will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment arms: symptomatic treatment with NSAID plus antibiotic vs symptomatic treatment with NSAID only. They will be followed-up at 48 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 3 months from the onset of the episode.
NCT03008707
Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage (LPL) has recently been emerging as an effective alternative to laparoscopic sigmoidectomy (LS) in patients with complicated acute diverticulitis (CAD) (Modified Hinchey's classification grade II non-responder to conservative therapy and grade III). Aim of the study is to evaluate which surgical strategy, between LPL and LS, could give better results in patients with CAD
NCT01840917
The purpose of this study is to investigate heart rate variability during Acute uncomplicated diverticulitis by ECG-monitor (Holter), the investigators hypothesis is the inflammation causes a decrease of High Frequency(HF)-power component of heart rate variability and this correlates with sleep quality and daytime fatigue.
NCT01825967
The management of acute diverticulitis maybe better if we have prognostic markers of evolution. Hypothesis: C-reactive protein maybe a good prognostic marker of evolution of acute diverticulitis. The investigators need to know the values of C-reactive protein to predict evolution of acute diverticulitis.
