New score aims to rush riskiest appendicitis cases to surgery
NCT ID NCT07197489
Summary
This study tested a simple scoring system called Appendistat (APS) to see if it could identify which patients with suspected appendicitis were most likely to develop a dangerous, ruptured infection. Researchers looked back at the medical records of 592 patients who had their appendix removed. The goal was to see if the score, calculated from basic blood tests, could accurately predict who needed urgent surgery to prevent serious complications.
