Purpose:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of diverticulosis with colorectal polyps, advanced neoplastic lesions (ANLs), and colorectal cancers (CRCs).Methods:The first-time colonoscopy records of 3496 patients were evaluated in this retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study. Data on clinical indications, presence of diverticulosis and diverticulitis, location of diverticula and polps, the size and number of polyps, and results of histopathologic examinations of polypectomies were noted. Categorical data were analyzed with ?2 test or the Fisher exact probability. P-values <0.05 (2 sided) were considered statistically significant. Statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS, version 18.Results:Of the 3496 patients, 1691 were male individuals (48.4%) and 1805 (51.6%) were female individuals. Diverticulosis was present in 12.6% of patients. A total of 870 polyps were detected in 716 patients. A total of 170 polyps (19.5%) were classified as ANLs. CRC was diagnosed in 112 (3.2%) patients. A significant relationship between diverticulosis and colorectal polyps (odds ratio: 1.99; 95% confidence interval: 1.59-0.2.48, P<0.001) was found. Similarly, adenomas and ANLs were more frequent in diverticulosis (P<0.05). There was no significant relationship between diverticulosis and CRCs (P=0.243).Conclusions:Adenomatous polyps and ANLs were more frequently observed in patients with diverticulosis, but no significant relationship was found between CRC and diverticulosis. The results of this retrospective cross-sectional study need to be confirmed by longitudinal prospective cohort studies. © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
