Criteria for Making the Treatment Decision There is general consensus that disease-dependent criteria for the treatment decision include number of previous attacks fever anemia leukocytosis intraluminal narrowing obstruction fistulas abscess formation free air intraabdominal fluid and thickening of the wall verified by CT scan 10 26 . Patient-dependent criteria include age and concomitant disease functional and emotional status degree of disability cognitive function and subjective well-being of the patient. However these criteria have not been thoroughly studied in previous trials. The number of diverticula their distribution and manometry data should have no influence on decision making. 7. Indications for Conservative Treatment There is a consensus that conservative treatment is indicated in cases with a first attack of uncomplicated diverticulitis 51 The rationale is that approximately 50-70 of patients treated for a first episode of acute diverticulitis will recover and have no further problems. Only approximately 20 of patients with a first attack develop any complications. Those with recurrent attacks are at 60 risk to develop complications 29 .
