摘要

背景:在比勒陀利亚Ga-Rankuwa Dr George Mukhari学术医院(DGMAH)诊断放射科进行钡灌肠研究的成年患者中,憩室病的发病率可能呈增加趋势。这项研究将是首次记录我院自成立以来这种情况的严重性。目的:本研究的目的是评估目前憩室病在DGMAH Ga-Rankuwa的患病率,其患者主要是非洲裔南非人。材料和方法:我们回顾了所有在DGMAH进行钡灌肠调查的成年患者1年的医疗记录。对166例符合纳入标准的患者进行钡灌肠研究,系统地对憩室病的存在进行放射学评估。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS, version 22.0)软件程序对记录中的数据进行分析。结果:患者年龄18 ~ 95岁,平均年龄60.1岁。从分析的记录来看,77.7%的放射学阴性,而22.3%的憩室病阳性。以女性为主,女性23例(62.2%),男性14例(37.8%);P < 0.0001),憩室病呈弥漫性。与之前在撒哈拉以南非洲进行的研究相比,DGMAH观察到的憩室病增加趋势没有反映出统计学上的显著差异。结论:本研究显示了一种可能的憩室病趋势,此前在DGMAH的钡灌肠研究中没有记录,可能是由于城市化的影响和低纤维残留的精制碳水化合物的消耗增加。

Diverticulosis among patients referred for barium enema studies at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital, Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria, South Africa
Background: A possible increasing trend in the incidence of diverticulosis was observed in adult patients referred to the Diagnostic Radiology department of Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital (DGMAH), Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria, for barium enema studies. The study will be the first to document the magnitude of this condition at our hospital since its inception. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the current prevalence of diverticulosis at DGMAH Ga-Rankuwa whose patients are predominantly South Africans of African descent. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all adult patients referred to DGMAH for barium enema investigations for 1 year. Barium enema studies of 166 patients who met the inclusion criteria were systematically evaluated radiologically for the presence of diverticulosis. Data from the records were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 22.0) software program. Results: The patients' ages ranged between 18 and 95 years, with a mean age of 60.1 years. From the records analyzed, 77.7% were radiologically negative, whereas 22.3% were positive for diverticulosis. There was a female preponderance (23 cases [62.2%] among females versus 14 cases [37.8%] among males; P < 0.0001) and the diverticulosis had a diffused pattern. The increasing trend of diverticulosis observed at DGMAH did not reflect any statistically significant difference when compared with previous studies done in sub-Saharan Africa. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a possible trend of diverticulosis previously unrecorded in barium enema studies at DGMAH, probably attributable to the effects of urbanization and higher consumption of refined carbohydrate with low fiber residue.
