Population-Based Incidence of Complicated Diverticular Disease of the Sigmoid Colon Based on Gender and Age

Abstract: Female patients present, on average, five years later than male with complications requiring surgery. Overall, men have a higher incidence of bleeding (P = 0.015), whereas women present more often with stricture and obstruction (P = 0.02). Young males present more with fistula (P = 0.03), whereas older males present with bleeding (P = 0.001). Young females present with perforation (P = 0.002), and older females present with chronic diverticulitis (P = 0.04) and stricture (P = 0.04).

“…2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Given an age of 64 years, the initial working diagnosis of diverticulitis was reasonable. 13 The patient's failure to respond to antibiotics after a few days prompted further investigations which clinched the diagnosis of congenital malrotation. Second, although for 64 years GL did not have any problems related to his malrotation with all of the small bowel trapped underneath the parietal peritoneum extending from the ascending colon, 3 days after laparotomy (during which a few centimetres of bowel was withdrawn and examined), he developed small bowel obstruction due to a kink at the entrance into the 'pouch'.…”

“…Actualmente existe consenso en que la distribución global por sexo es igualitaria o con leve predominio de las mujeres. Sin embargo, esta distribución no es homogénea si se estratifica por edad, existiendo un predominio de los hombres en los menores de 50 años y un predominio femenino en los mayores de 70, como se muestra en esta serie y otras [15][16][17] . En un estudio reciente de la Clínica Mayo sobre 934 pacientes (52,5% del género femenino), la presentación clínica de la ED en promedio ocurrió en las mujeres 5 años después que en los hombres 15 .…”

“…La principal indicación de cirugía electiva en nuestra experiencia fue la diverticulitis recurrente en 54% de los casos, seguida de las fístulas en 19%, similar a otros centros con mayor experiencia 15 . No existe una categorización universal y consensuada de las indicaciones quirúrgicas electivas por una ED del colon, las que incluso cambian en series históricas provenientes de una misma institución 11,19 .…”
