This study points out the long-term trends in inpatient treatment for acute diverticulitis and the in-hospital mortality risk factors of patients hospitalized for acute diverticulitis in a large nationwide cohort, as well as changes in these trends and factors resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These changes might be attributable to delayed diagnosis and thus more severe stages of disease as a result of containment measures.
