Popis: Diverticulosis is a relevant disease in Germany with a prevalence of over 60 % in patients aged ≥70 years. The S2k guidelines for the treatment of diverticulosis were recently published. Systematic epidemiological data on treatment modalities do not exist.Analysis of in-hospital treatment modalities for diverticulosis based on data from the Federal Office of Statistics.Approximately 130,000 inpatient cases of diverticulosis are treated in Germany per year. Approximately 25 % undergo surgery and of these slightly under 50 % (12,000 procedures) are carried out by laparoscopy. The complication rates are 18 % in a best case scenario and up to 85 % in a worst case scenario. A stage-adjusted classification of treatment modalities based on data from the Federal Office of Statistics is currently practically impossible.To enable stage-adjusted epidemiological analysis of diverticulosis, a standardized and transparent documentation system enabling systematic analysis is necessary, which does not currently exist (e. g. ICD 10 coding); moreover, information on conservative and interventional treatment options are not included in the operations and procedures key (OPS) coding system.
