Inflammatory Parameters as Predictive Factors for Complicated Appendicitis
- Conditions
- Acute Appendicitis
- Interventions
- Other: dosing of inflammatory parameters
- Registration Number
- NCT05116124
- Lead Sponsor
- Centro Hospitalar do Tâmega e Sousa
- Brief Summary
Acute appendicitis is a major cause of acute abdomen. Although its diagnosis is clinical, it is often supported by complementary diagnostic tests. Sometimes, delay in diagnosis can lead to worsening of the clinical picture, resulting in a complicated acute appendicitis. Some series have studied some clinical and analytical parameters as possible predictors of complicated acute appendicitis.
A retrospective analysis of patients admitted for acute appendicitis and undergoing appendectomy between January 2014 and December 2017 was performed in order to assess the possible existence of preoperative analytical predictive factors for complicated acute appendicitis (such as leukocytosis, C-reactive protein and ratio between neutrophils and lymphocytes).
