Diverticular disease has an impact on quality of life – results of a preliminary study

Objective  Diverticular disease (DD) is common in the western world, and carries a significant morbidity. Although patients can have long standing symptoms no research on quality of life (QoL) in DD exists in the literature. Assessment of QoL may be useful in decision making and selection of patients who would be appropriate candidates for elective surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to examine whether DD has an impact on QoL.
