Mo1764 INPATIENT COLONOSCOPY FOR DIVERTICULAR HEMORRHAGE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH 30 DAYS RE-ADMISSION FOR RECURRENT LOWER GI BLEED

Diverticular hemorrhage is the most common etiology for hospital admission with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Colonoscopy is recommended as the first-line diagnostic study. But because bleeding is usually self-limited, endoscopic localization and hemostasis is achieved in a minority of patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of inpatient colonoscopy on prevalence of 30-day readmission for lower GI bleeding in patients with diverticular hemorrhage.
