Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergencywith a lifetime risk of 1 in 7. Early recognition of the condition and prompt operation have been the most important factors in reducing morbidity and possible mortality, length of stay, and cost of treatment. A negative appendectomy rate of 20-40% has been reported in literature. Removing normal appendix is an economic burden on both patients and health resources. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of Alvarado scoring system in reducing the percentage of negative appendectomy in our setup.
