Abstract
Objective: Comparative study of Diagnostic accuracy of Modified Alvarado Score and Ultrasonography in Acute Appendicitis. Materials And Methods: A total of 100 patients of age group between 7-65yrs,both male and females,with clinical features suggestive of acute appendicitis were selected non-randomly for the study. Data was collected as Alvarado score,ultrasonograpic findings and histopathological reports.Statistical analysis was performed and results of both Alvarado score and Ultrasonography were compared. Results: Of 100 patients taken,maximum percentage of patients were in age group 20 - 30yrs with males dominated the series.The sensitivity and specificity of Modified alvarado score was 96.25 % and 75 % with PPV 93.90 % and NPV 83.33 % and diagnostic accuracy of 92% respectively. Ultrasonography study revealed 70 % sensitivity and specificity of 100 %,PPV and NPV were 100 % and 45.45 % and diagnostic accuracy was 76 % respectively.
