Description:

DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional analysis SETTING: Research and training hospital (Tertiary care center) In our study, patients hospitalized in our hospital clinic between 2018 and 2022 with the diagnosis of right colon diverticulitis were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, WSES grade, whether surgery was performed or not, laboratory values, iv antibiotherapies given, length of hospitalization and mortality were evaluated.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The CRP, the need for surgical intervention vs conservative treatment .
