Summary
This study looks at 400 adults with acute appendicitis to figure out who can be treated with antibiotics alone and who needs surgery. Researchers will track lab results, imaging, and symptoms to see which approach works best for each patient. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid unnecessary surgery.
