Performance of imaging studies in patients with suspected appendicitis after stratification with adult appendicitis score
2017
Background
Diagnostic scoring is used to stratify patients with suspected appendicitis into three groups: high, intermediate, and low probability of appendicitis. The stratification can be used for selective imaging to avoid the harms of radiation without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
The aim was to study how stratification by Adult Appendicitis Score affects diagnostic performance of imaging studies.
