简要总结
Hyperbilirubinemia is reported to be a positive predictor in diagnosing perforated appendicitis. Therefore we analysed the diagnostic accuracy of serum bilirubin in discriminating between perforated and simple/no appendicitis.
Methods:
All consecutive patients undergoing appendectomy for suspected appendicitis from May 2009 to August 2011 were analysed. Primary endpoint was the diagnostic accuracy of serum bilirubin levels to detect perforated appendicitis.
