• Lead Sponsor: Fundación de Investigación Biomédica - Hospital Universitario de La Princesa

Brief Summary

Acute uncomplicated diverticulitis is a quite prevalent situation and consultation in the emergency department.

Its management has progresively changed towards a more conservative one and it is currently recommended in several guidelines the option of avoiding antibiotics in certain highly selected cases.

Nevertheless, the implantation of such recommendations in current clinical pratice is unknown and, hypothesizing it was still low, the reasons for such reluctancy are also unknown.

Both aspects can be considered quite interesting in order to design a specific plan in order to overcome such difficulties.

In order to do so, an online survery was designed and colorectal surgeons along Spain, based in the census of the Young Group from the Spanish Association of Colorectal Surgery were invited to participate. Invitations were distributed along usual communication channels of this group, such as email or chat mobile phone applications. All the responses to the survey will be analyzed in order to find out how many hospitals are using current managemente without antibiotics, its characteristics and, opposite, what are the main reasons for those hospitals that are not using it yet.
