Diverticular disease and the risk of colon cancer - a population-based case-control study.

摘要: Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2011; 34: 675–681 Summary Background  Colon cancer and diverticular disease are most common in the Western world their incidences tend to increase with advancing age. The association between diseases remains unclear. Aim  To analyse risk of colon after hospitalisation for disease. Methods  Nationwide case–control study. A total 41 037 patients during 1992–2006, identified from Swedish Cancer Register were included. Each case was matched two control subjects. From Inpatient Register, cases subjects hospitalised identified. Odds ratios (OR) confidence intervals receiving a diagnosis hospital discharge calculated. mortality compared or without disease. Results  Within 6 months an admission due disease, OR having up 31.49 (19.00–52.21). After 12 months, there no increased risk. number discharges did not affect differ disease. Conclusions  Diverticular does long term, history mortality. within first 12 months diagnosing is likely surveillance misclassification. Examination should be recommended primary episode symptomatic disease.
