Colonic resection and stoma formation due to chronic diverticular disease: nationwide population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Consensus on patient selection for elective colonic resection in patients with chronic diverticular disease is lacking. Early identification of patients who require surgery eventually enables timely elective resection, which could decrease the chronic diverticular disease burden. This register-based nationwide cohort study aimed to investigate the incidence of emergency and elective colonic resections or stoma formation in patients with chronic diverticular disease and explore predictors for surgery.

Methods

The study included all patients with chronic diverticular disease in Denmark from 1996 to 2020, defined as patients with two or more hospital contacts due to diverticular disease. The incidence of surgery due to chronic diverticular disease was calculated as c
