Introduction</h3><p>Diverticulitis is one of the most common reasons for elective bowel resections after cancer. However, there seems to be significant differences between clinicians about how to treat acute diverticulitis. Treatment varies from &#x02018;watch and wait&#x02019;, medication and surgery. There are also great variances between clinicians about when to operate, it seems to differ on the number of recurrences, the severity of the condition and how the condition affects the patient&#x02019;s quality of life. Age and comorbidities are also taken into consideration.</p><p>This question is aimed to review the evidence and aid the clinician&#x02019;s decision when considering surgery on these patients.</p></div><div id="ch9.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

Evidence statements</h3><div id="ch9.s1.6.1"><h4>1.6.1. Clinical evidence statements</h4><p>One study reported on the association between recurrent episodes of diverticulitis and indications for surgery. The evidence suggested that recurrent diverticulitis was a possible indication for surgery when looking at the outcome need for surgery (n=271, moderate quality). However this was not consistent with the outcomes mortality and presence of an abscess on CT scan which suggested no association (low quality, n= 271).</p></div><div id="ch9.s1.6.2"><h4>1.6.2. Health economic evidence statements</h4><p>No relevant economic evaluations were identified.</p></div></div><div id="ch9.s1.7"><h3>1.7. The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch9.s1.7.1"><h4>1.7.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch9.s1.7.1.1"><h5>1.7.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The guideline committee identified the following outcomes as critical outcomes for this review; mortality, morbidity, recurrence rates of acute diverticulitis, hospitalisation, need for surgery, progression of disease and complications including, infections, abscesses, perforation, stricture and fistula. Evidence from a single study was found for only three of the outcomes; mortality, need for surgery and presence of abscess.</p></div><div id="ch9.s1.7.1.2"><h5>1.7.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence included was medium to low due to a high risk of bias from a single study with only a univariate analysis.</p></div><div id="ch9.s1.7.1.3"><h5>1.7.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>Only one study was identified comparing patients who had an initial episode of acute diverticulitis to those who had a recurrent episode. The committee were unable to make any evidence-based recommendations on this subject and therefore statements were included in the Delphi survey. The current guidance for surgery in patients with recurrent episodes of acute diverticulitis is to take a tailored approach to each individual patient as outlined by the ACPGBI guidance in 2008. No further clear indications for surgery in this patient group could be identified. A further group identified for surgery were those who had been treated for complications of acute diverticulitis conservatively but no evidence was found on subsequent surgical management of these patients with regard to indications for surgery.</p><p>The current evidence did not sufficiently address the harms and benefits associated with clear indications for surgery.</p></div></div><div id="ch9.s1.7.2"><h4>1.7.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No relevant economic evaluations were identified which address the indications for surgery in people with acute diverticulitis. The committee were presented with unit costs associated with surgery.</p><p>The clinical evidence was not sufficient for the committee to make a recommendation.</p></div><div id="ch9.s1.7.3"><h4>1.7.3. Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>The committee noted the main symptoms and signs associated with complicated acute diverticulitis. A person with a fistula may develop faecaluria (faeces in urine), pneumaturia (gas or air in urine) or pyuria (white blood cells or pus in urine). A stricture may lead to obstructive symptoms with complaints of nausea, vomiting and distension being present. Signs of sepsis including raised or lowered temperature or change in conscious level may also be present.</p><p>Statements were included in the Delphi survey on the symptoms and signs specific to complicated acute diverticulitis, namely abscess, perforation, fistula and intestinal obstruction. The committee also noted the importance of a statement on symptoms and signs of sepsis. The statement was modified after voting to be consistent with the NICE guideline on Sepsis (NG51).</p><p>All of the statements reached consensus in the first round.</p><p>Same day hospital assessment was recommended if any of the symptoms and signs of complicated acute diverticulitis are present.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch9.rl.r1"><h2 id="_ch9_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="ch9.ref1">Abbas

<p>Studies not meeting any of the search criteria above will be excluded. Studies published before 2002, abstract-only studies and studies from non-OECD countries or the USA will also be excluded.</p>

<p><b>Inclusion and exclusion criteria</b>
<ul id="ch9.l17"><li id="ch9.lt59" class="half_rhythm"><div>If a study is rated as both &#x02018;Directly applicable&#x02019; and with &#x02018;Minor limitations&#x02019; then it will be included in the guideline.

<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation in the excluded health economic studies appendix below.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
<p><i>Setting:</i>
<ul id="ch9.l18"><li id="ch9.lt62" class="half_rhythm"><div>UK NHS (most applicable).</div></li><li id="ch9.lt63" class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly public health insurance systems (for example, France, Germany, Sweden).</div></li><li id="ch9.lt64" class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly private health insurance systems (for example, Switzerland).</div></li><li id="ch9.lt65" class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies set in non-OECD countries or in the USA will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Health economic study type:</i>
