Résumé
Diverticulitis is experiencing a significant increase in prevalence and its widespread in-hospital management results in a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide. This study compared inpatient and outpatient approach of acute non-complicated diverticulitis using a non-selected population in a real-world setting. This observational retrospective study included all consecutive patients from two Portuguese institutions diagnosed between January 2017 and December 2021 with non-complicated diverticulitis according to the modified Hinchey Classification. The primary endpoints were to identify criteria for inpatient treatment and compare the outcomes on the basis of the treatment regimen. The secondary endpoints were to determine the predictive factors for clinical outcomes, focusing on treatment failure, pain recurrence, and the need for elective surgery following the initial episode. A total of 688 patients were included in this study, 437 treated as outpatients and 251 hospitalized. Inpatient management was significantly associated with higher preadmission American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) score (p = 0.004), fever (p = 0.030), leukocytosis (p < 0.001), and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.001). No significant association was found between failure of conservative treatment and patient's age, ASA score, baseline CRP, presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and inpatient or outpatient treatment regimen. Pain recurrence was significantly associated with higher CRP levels (p = 0.049), inpatient treatment regime (p = 0.009) and post index episode mesalazine prescription (p = 0.006). Moreover, the need for elective surgery was significantly associated with the presence of previous episodes (p = 0.004) and pain recurrence (p < 0.001). The majority of patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis of the left colon experience successful conservative approach and can be safely managed in an ambulatory setting. Neither treatment failure, recurrence of pain, or need for posterior elective surgery are associated with outpatient treatment regimen.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Diverticulitis is experiencing a significant increase in prevalence and its widespread in-hospital management results in a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide. This study compared inpatient and outpatient approach of acute non-complicated diverticulitis using a non-selected population in a real-world setting.
METHODS
METHODS
This observational retrospective study included all consecutive patients from two Portuguese institutions diagnosed between January 2017 and December 2021 with non-complicated diverticulitis according to the modified Hinchey Classification. The primary endpoints were to identify criteria for inpatient treatment and compare the outcomes on the basis of the treatment regimen. The secondary endpoints were to determine the predictive factors for clinical outcomes, focusing on treatment failure, pain recurrence, and the need for elective surgery following the initial episode.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 688 patients were included in this study, 437 treated as outpatients and 251 hospitalized. Inpatient management was significantly associated with higher preadmission American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) score (p = 0.004), fever (p = 0.030), leukocytosis (p < 0.001), and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.001). No significant association was found between failure of conservative treatment and patient's age, ASA score, baseline CRP, presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and inpatient or outpatient treatment regimen. Pain recurrence was significantly associated with higher CRP levels (p = 0.049), inpatient treatment regime (p = 0.009) and post index episode mesalazine prescription (p = 0.006). Moreover, the need for elective surgery was significantly associated with the presence of previous episodes (p = 0.004) and pain recurrence (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The majority of patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis of the left colon experience successful conservative approach and can be safely managed in an ambulatory setting. Neither treatment failure, recurrence of pain, or need for posterior elective surgery are associated with outpatient treatment regimen.
