Study Overview
Brief Summary
To identify predictors for postoperative health related quality of life after elective sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease.
Detailed Description
According to current international guidelines, indications for surgical treatment of diverticular disease are inhomogeneous. To date, the measurement of pre- and postoperative quality of life (QoL) is underrepresented. To ensure an individually tailored therapeutical approach, and to avoid unnecessary surgery as well as the risk of a hazardous chronification of the disease, QoL importantly needs to be focused within the decisional process for the best treatment option. The aim of the PREDIC DIV-Study is, to identify predictors for a better postoperative quality of life in patients who undergo elective sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease. PREDIC DIV is a prospective observational study.
