Brief Summary

In the Emergency Department (ED), patients with acute diverticulitis usually present with acute abdominal pain. Sometimes, or mostly, it is an exclusive diagnosis, meaning that the diagnosis would be made after other emergent and acute abdomens are excluded. The recurrent diverticulitis cost medical burden. The studies focusing on potential risk factors of recurrent diverticulitis, especially for those after an episode of acute diverticulitis, are limited.
