Predictive Factors for Colonic Diverticular Rebleeding: A Retrospective Analysis of the Clinical and Colonoscopic Features of 111 Patients

Abstract

A higher BMI and colonoscopic findings of actively bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels can be used as predictive factors for colonic diverticular rebleeding. Patients with such findings should be carefully followed up after hemostasis of the initial colonic diverticular bleeding.
