| Core Tip |
Colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) is increasing in Asia. There are no practice guidelines for CDB, and it is important to determine which recommendation is acceptable to a majority of hospitals. We conducted multicenter questionnaire surveys of 37 hospitals in Japan regarding management of CDB including clinical settings, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes, and made comparisons between hospitals with different patient volumes and between hospitals in different regions. Thus, practice styles unique to Japan such as performing computed tomography before colonoscopy, no bowel preparation, and clipping as first-line therapy were identified. However, management of CDB was common among hospitals irrespective of hospital size and region.
