Abstract

Objective: Discriminating simple from complicated diverticulitis solely on clinical bases is challenging. The aim of this study was to identify clinical predictive factor for the need for invasive treatment for patients presenting with acute diverticulitis in the emergency room. Material and Methods: The records of all patients, who were discharged from a university hospital between January 2010 and March 2018 with “diverticulitis” diagnosis, were reviewed. Data collected included clinical features, whether this was a first or recurrent episode, WBC, and Hinchey score. Patients were divided into conservative and invasive treatment groups. Groups were compared by age, sex, BMI, fever, WBC and CT findings. Hinchey score groups were also compared by age, sex, BMI, fever, WBC. Results: A total of 809 patients were included. Mean age was 60.6 years, with 10% below 40 years. Most patients were treated conservatively (95.9%) while only 4.1% were treated invasively. WBC at presentation was significantly higher in those who required invasive treatment in comparison with the conservative group (13.72 vs. 11.46K/uL, p= 0.024). A statistically significant higher WBC was found among patients with a higher Hinchey score (13.16 vs 11.69, p< 0.005). No difference between the groups was found in terms of age, sex, fever or BMI. Conclusion: This study showed that patients who present with acute diverticulitis and an elevated WBC are prone to a more severe disease and a higher Hinchey score. Prudence should be taken with these patients, and CT scan is warranted as there is a greater chance that invasive treatment will be required.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Basit ve komplike divertikül ayrımını sadece klinik bulgulara dayanarak yapmak zorludur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, acil service akut divertikül ile başvuran hastalarda invazif tedavi ihtiyacını öngörücü faktörleri belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2010 ile Mart 2018 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinden “divertikül” tanısı ile taburcu olan tüm hastaların verileri incelendi. Toplanan verilere klinik özellikler, bunun ilk mi tekrarlayan bir epizot mu olup olmadığı, BKH ve Hinchey skoru dahil edildi. Hastalar konservatif ve invazif tedavi grupları olarak ikiye ayrıldı. Gruplar, yaş, cinsiyet, VKİ, BKH, ateş ve BT bulguları yönünden karşılaştırıldı. Hinchey skor grupları da ayrıca yaş, cinsiyet, VKİ, ateş ve BKH yönünden karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplamda 809 hasta alındı. Ortalama yaş 60,6 yıl iken bunun %10’unun 40 yaş altı hastalar oluşturuyordu. Hastaların çoğunluğu konservatif olarak tedavi edilirken (%95,9) sadece %4,1’inde invazif tedaviye ihtiyaç duyuldu. Konservatif tedavi grubuna kıyasla invazif tedavi grubunda hastaneye başvuru esnasındaki BKH anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (13,72 vs. 11,46 K/uL, p= 0,024). Hinchey skoru daha yüksek olan hastalarda anlamlı derecede yüksek BKH bulundu (13,16 vs. 11,69, p< 0,005). Yaş, cinsiyet, ateş ve VKİ açısından gruplar arası bir fark saptanmadı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, akut divertikül ve yükselmiş BKH ile başvuran hastalarda daha ciddi hastalık ve daha yüksek Hinchey skoru olduğu bulundu. Bu hastalarda ihtiyatli olmakta fayda varken invazif tedavi daha yüksek oranda gerekli olacağı için BT ile görüntülemeye başvurulması da gerekmektedir.
