Highlights |
• | Liver left lateral section volume < 150 cm3 and maximal colon distension > 10 cm on CT are associated with early sigmoid volvulus recurrence (OR = 4.62 [95% CI: 1.77–13.33], P = 0.002 and OR = 4.43 [95% CI: 1.63–13.63], P = 0.005 respectively). |
• | An early sigmoid volvulus recurrence score was built with these two variables and recurrence was observed in 26%, 54% and 89% of patients with scores of 0, 1 and 2, respectively (P < 0.001). |
• | A simple CT score allows stratification of early sigmoid volvulus recurrence and helps select patients with low risk for sigmoid volvulus recurrence who would not benefit from prophylactic colonic surgery. |
Abstract |
Purpose |
The purpose of this study was to identify computed tomography (CT) features associated with early recurrence of sigmoid volvulus (SV) after a first uncomplicated episode and to develop a score for early SV recurrence risk stratification.
Materials and methods |
A total of 95 patients (59 men, 36 women; mean age, 72 ± 15 [SD] years; age range: 57–87 years) who underwent abdominal CT examination for a first uncomplicated SV episode from January 1st 2006 to July 31st 2020 in two French University Hospitals were retrospectively included. A SV recurrence occurring within six months was defined as early SV recurrence. CT findings associated with SV were searched for using univariable analysis. CT features associated with early recurrence were computed into a multivariable logistic regression model that was further used to build a score to stratify SV recurrence risk. Kaplan-Meier curves were built to evaluate recurrence-free survival.
Results |
Early SV recurrence occurred in 53 patients (56%). At multivariable analysis, left lateral section volume < 150 cm3 and maximal colon distension > 10 cm were associated with early SV recurrence (Odds ratio [OR] = 4.62; 95% CI: 1.77–13.33; P = 0.002 and OR = 4.43 95% CI: 1.63–13.63; P = 0.005) respectively), and an early SV recurrence score with 1 point attributed to each of these two variables was built. Early SV recurrence was observed in 26%, 54% and 89% of patients with score of 0, 1 and 2, respectively (P < 0.001).
Conclusion |
A simple CT score allows stratification of early SV recurrence after a first episode and helps to select patient who would not benefit from prophylactic colonic surgery because of a low SV recurrence risk.
