Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will be based on a national cohort gathered from National Patient Register, the National Cancer Register and the Cause of Death Register, obtained by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to a Swedish hospital between 1st July 2014 and 31st December 2020 with an ICD-10 code for diverticular disease of the large intestine (K57.2- K57.9).
  • Emergency admissions.
  • Patients who underwent procedures relevant to diverticulitis.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer before the index date.
  • Patients with synchronous operations that are supposed to be irrelevant to acute diverticulitis.

About this study

The goal of this observational study is to study the emergency surgical treatment of diverticular disease in Sweden outside clinical trials. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Which is the preferred surgical method of acute diverticular disease in Sweden?
  • Which are the short and long-term outcomes of the different surgical methods?

Researchers will compare the different methods to see if there is a surgical operation that is superior for the treatment of acute diverticulitis.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective study of patients who were admitted to a Swedish hospital between 1st July 2014 and 31st December 2020 with an ICD-10 code for diverticular disease of the large intestine (K57.2- K57.9) will be included. Patients who underwent procedures relevant to diverticulitis will be identified and therefore will be included. Procedures will be grouped into two categories: Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage (Group I), and sigmoid resection with or without stoma (Group II).

The cohort will be studied from 1st January 1997 until the index date aiming to assess comorbidities, previous abdominal surgeries, and admissions for diverticular disease. A Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) system adjusted for Swedish ICD-10 version will be used to calculate a composite score to reflect comorbidity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Preferred operation for acute colonic diverticular disease

    Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage or sigmoid resection

    Measured: Up to 78 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Crossover surgery

    Crossover from laparoscopy to resection surgery

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Reoperation

    Disease- associated reoperations involving the bowel or abdominal wall

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of the end of study or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 78 months

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of the end of study or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 78 months

  4. Postoperative length of hospital stay

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of discharge, assessed up to 78 months

  5. Colorectal cancer diagnosis

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of the end of study or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 78 months

  6. Thirty-day postoperative mortality

    Measured: Up 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diverticular Disease of Colon and Diverticulitis, Colonic, run by Uppsala University Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Preferred operation for acute colonic diverticular disease (time frame: Up to 78 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2023.
