Comparison of long-term quality of life in patients with diverticular disease. Are there any benefits to surgery?

Original language description

This study focused on the quality of life in patients who were treated in the past for complicated diverticulitis. We compared the effectiveness of conservative and surgical therapy. Between January 2000 and December 2005, 123 patients were treated for complicated diverticulitis in our ward. Five to ten years later these patients filled in the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index questionnaire. The results were evaluated with the Mann Whitney U test and Pearson chi square test. Result: We compared conservatively treated patients (49) with patients after sigma resection (27). On average, 7 years after the stay in hospital there were practically no differences in quality of life - 107 in the conservatively treated group versus 109 in the operated group. We counted the number of readmissions, which were higher in the conservatively treated group (34% vs 19%), but not statistically significant (p = 0.7).
