Acute colonic diverticulitis: a systematic review of diagnostic accuracy

Abstract: The best evidence for diagnosis of diverticulitis in the literature is on US. Only one small study of good quality was found for CT and for MRI-colonoscopy.

“…In the case of such locations, CT should be given preference over ultrasound alone particularly in the evaluation of the local situation in the case of an indication for emergency surgery. Metaanalyses show that ultrasound and CT have comparable values in the evaluation of diverticular disease [29,30]. However, it is interesting here that the good results for ultrasound in the metaanalyses were primarily due to the fact that the sonographic studies had a higher study quality compared to CT and MRI studies [31].…”

“…Much of this information is based on case series data, which have relatively small sample sizes and the preoperative diagnosis was not made using imaging studies. Recent studies suggest that colonic diverticulitis can be correctly diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) scan [6,7,10] , or ultrasonography (US) [11][12][13][14] , and with the use of these imaging studies, right colonic diverticulitis is more common than has been previously assumed [7] . The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and results of medical therapy in patients with right colonic diverticulitis, of which the final diagnosis was based on radiographic evidence from CT or US, or operative findings.…”

“…The multiple variable logistic regression analysis estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for days from admission for each outcome adjusted for confounders. The solution to the regression equation was used to predict the average probability of each outcome for each day following admission (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Average predicted values for each day were plotted to show the trend over 1 -20 days.…”
