Association between XXXX and colonic diverticulosis: case-control study based on computed tomographic colonography.

@entity1 @entity694 @entity14 @entity7261
BACKGROUND: The association between @entity14 ( @entity14 ) and @entity7261 is uncertain, and there is little data reported in Asia. This study examined the association of both diseases based on the computed tomographic colonography (CTC). METHODS: This study was designed as a case-control study. Korean subjects undergoing CTC between April 2002 to April 2008 in Samsung Medical Center were eligible. @entity1 with histologically proven @entity14 (case group) and asymptomatic age and gender matched controls (control group) were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 604 subjects were enrolled in this study (Case group N = 302, Control group N = 302). The case group was 54.6% male and the median age was 56.9 years old. Among them 24.5% of @entity14 @entity1 had @entity7261 compared to 29.5% of controls (P = 0.169). The distribution of @entity7261 between the two groups was similar. Subset analysis revealed no difference in the location of @entity7261 in @entity1 with right @entity694 and left @entity694 (P = 0.781). CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that @entity14 is not associated with @entity7261 .
