- Abstract
Acute perforated colonic diverticular disease has a mortality rate of up to 30 per cent, but little is known about its aetiology. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that three classes of drugs, namely non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioid analgesics and corticosteroids, are risk factors for perforated diverticular disease.
