Tóm tắt
Colonic diverticulitis is increasing in Asia, yet data on clinical patterns in Vietnam remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, laboratory, imaging characteristics, and treatment outcomes at Thong Nhat Hospital. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 105 patients from January 1 to September 1, 2025. Data on demographics, clinical features, laboratory tests, CT findings, WSES classification, treatment strategies, and outcomes were collected and analyzed using SPSS 26.0, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. The mean age was 53.9 ± 20.0 years, with 31.4% aged ≥65. Males accounted for 67.6%. The most common symptom was right lower quadrant pain (55.2%). CT revealed diverticula mainly in the sigmoid colon (40.0%), cecum (37.1%), and right colon (19.0%). WSES stages were: 1a (57.1%), 1b (19.0%), 2a (11.4%), 2b (7.6%), 3 (3.8%), and 4 (1.0%). Medical treatment was applied in 89.5% of cases, percutaneous drainage in 1.0%, and surgery in 9.5%. The mean hospital stay was 7.6 ± 4.4 days, significantly longer in complicated cases and those requiring invasive interventions (p < 0.05). Colonic diverticulitis in Vietnam often affects middle-aged males, with location varying by age: cecum/right colon in younger patients and sigmoid colon in the elderly. CT-scan plays a crucial role in diagnosis, staging, and guiding treatment.
