Theme:
General Surgery

Participants:

Dr Michael Haddock (ED consultant), Dr Sergei Tsakanov (general surgical Fellow), Edgardo Solis (general surgical registrar), Shreyas Iyer, Samoda Wilegoda Mudalige, Kit Rowe, Caroline Tyers, Harry Hong and Yelise Foon.

Discussion:
Jaung, R., Nisbet, S., Gosselink, M., Di Re, A., Keane, C., & Lin, A. et al. (2021). Antibiotics Do Not Reduce Length of Hospital Stay for Uncomplicated Diverticulitis in a Pragmatic Double-Blind Randomized Trial. Clinical Gastroenterology And Hepatology, 19(3), 503-510.e1. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cgh.2020.03.049.

Summary:

  • This was the first randomized-controlled trial comparing antibiotics to no antibiotics in uncomplicated acute diverticulitis with a placebo control.
  • The primary outcome assessed was the length of stay in hospital, with secondary outcomes including withdrawal rates from the study, the occurrence of adverse events, readmission to hospital within 1 week and 30 days, procedural interventions, change in the serial inflammatory markers, and patient-reported pain scores at 12 and 24 hours from admission.
  • Exclusion criteria included meeting 2 or more of the SIRS criteria (including fever, and WCC <4 or >12), and inability to give consent or answer symptom-related questions (due to language barrier or cognitive impairment), amongst others.
  • The study found that placebo was not inferior to antibiotics for uncomplicated acute diverticulitis regarding hospital length of stay.
  • There was also no significant difference between groups with regards to adverse events and readmission to hospital within 1 week and 30 days (although the power of the study was not high enough to definitively answer these outcomes).

Take-Home Points:

  • There may be a role for treating uncomplicated acute diverticulitis without antibiotics, although this is not the standard of practice in Australia yet.
  • If these patients are treated without antibiotics, there would need to be an adequate follow-up plan (to account for patients potentially deteriorating and developing a complication of diverticulitis).
  • This is a growing area of research; with practices varying between institutions.
