Summary

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at RNA (genetic material) to help doctors quickly figure out if belly pain is caused by an infection like appendicitis or diverticulitis. About 1,000 people with abdominal pain will give a blood sample, and the test results will be compared to standard methods like CT scans. The goal is to see if this test can speed up diagnosis and reduce the need for more invasive procedures.
