BACKGROUND: Early identification of patients with acute diverticulitis who
require emergent surgical intervention in the emergency department (ED) is
important to the physician. Although computed tomography (CT) has an important
role in evaluating the severity of diverticulitis, its findings alone may not
predict the need for emergent surgical intervention in all patients with acute
diverticulitis in the ED. Serum inflammation markers may help to differentiate
severity of acute diverticulitis and predict the need for surgical intervention
in clinical practice. No information is currently available on the clinical
usefulness of the delta neutrophil index (DNI), with respect to the prediction of
emergent surgical intervention in patients with acute diverticulitis at the ED.
METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study of consecutive adult
patients with acute diverticulitis confirmed by CT in the ED, between January
2014 and December 2016. Recruited patients were divided into two groups: emergent
surgical intervention and no surgical intervention. The following laboratory
serum parameters were examined in the ED: DNI value, C-reactive protein (CRP)
levels, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte
ratio (NLR). The patients were also examined for the presence or absence of
complications by CT. RESULTS: A total of 132 patients were finally included in
the study, with the emergent surgical intervention group constituting 52
patients. The median DNI value, CRP levels, neutrophil count, and NLR were
significantly higher in the emergent surgical intervention group than in the no
surgical intervention group. The area under the curve for predicting emergent
surgical intervention, using the DNI was significantly higher than that of CRP
levels, neutrophil count, or NLR. Moreover, the combination of initial DNI and CT
was most powerful diagnostic modality. CONCLUSIONS: DNI values measured at the ED
combined with CT were good predictors for emergent surgical intervention in acute
diverticulitis. If the DNI value is greater than 0.7% and complications in CT are
suspected in patients suspected to have acute diverticulitis, the need for
emergent surgical intervention should be considered carefully in the ED.
