Comparison of 5-year risk of EOCRC in propensity-score-matched Diverticular disease (+) and Diverticular disease (−) cohorts for 7 study populations (age 20–44). Cohorts were propensity-score matched for potential confounders including demographics (age, gender, race, ethnicity), adverse socioeconomic determinants of health and lifestyles, comorbidities, and medications. First-time diagnosis of EOCRC was followed for 5 years, for example from 2016 after the diagnosis of diverticular disease through 2021 for the 2016 study population.
