Antibiotics - Again Less Seems More - This Time: Uncomplicated Diverticulitis

3/9/2020

 
Picture

The W.H.O. has repeatedly warned that antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health today. Among all measures we can take to try and reduce this problem, merely avoiding unnecessary treatments is maybe one of the most effective. 

It is therefore pleasing that another piece of good evidence has been published, supporting the avoidance of antibiotics in the event of non-complicated diverticulitis (defined as non-perforated diverticulitis with a Hinchey 1a grade in computed tomography).
The investigators performed a 

randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial 

in which they compared 180 patients with non-complicated diverticulitis

to receive

either cefuroxime, metronidazole, and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or placebo.

They found

No significant difference in the median time of hospital stay (primary outcome). Also, there were no significant differences between groups in adverse events, readmission to the hospital within one week, and readmission to the hospital within 30 days.
Picture

These findings complement other studies indicating that observational treatment without antibiotics can be considered appropriate in patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis.

Antibiotics can provide quick relief from any condition but yes, they are not just right when consumed too frequently
