The role of inflammatory markers in decreasing negative appendectomy rate: a study based on computed tomography findings

Abstract: BACKGROUND:This study aimed to investigate the role of inflammatory markers in decreasing negative appendectomy rate (NAR) based on their relation with findings of acute appendicitis (AA) on computed tomography (CT).

“…[1] Laboratory tests, scoring systems and imaging methods are used in AA diagnosis, as well as the clinical history and physical examination. [19] However, it is not always possible to make a final and accurate diagnosis. Despite all of the developments in diagnosis and treatment methods, high NA and perforation rates have still been reported (13-36%, 12-21%, respectively).…”

“…Despite all of the developments in diagnosis and treatment methods, high NA and perforation rates have still been reported (13-36%, 12-21%, respectively). [4,10,12,[19][20][21][22] Perforation rates can reach 50%, particularly among the elderly. [3,5,6,22] As perforation rates increase, the rates of morbidity and mortality, the duration of hospital stay, and medical costs increase as well.…”

“…de 92% para un diámetro apendicular > 7,9 mm, la diferencia entre la especificidad de este estudio y el nuestro podría deberse al punto de corte que utilizaron, el cual fue mayor al nuestro. Sin embargo, este estudio incluyó en la muestra a los pacientes no operados [24] . De igual manera, un estudio realizado en 216 pacientes entre 18 y 91 años a quienes se les realizó tomografía abdominal por sospecha clínica de apendicitis aguda, se encontró que con un punto de corte de diámetro apendicular > 6 mm, se encontraron sensibilidad de 97,5% y especificidad de 59,6%.…”

“…Asimismo, el grosor de la pared apendicular ≥ 2 mm tuvo una sensibilidad de 46,5% y una especificidad de 88,8%, en comparación con el estudio de Ozan et al, que reportó una sensibilidad de 82% y una especificidad de 83% para el signo tomográfico. La diferencia que existe entre la sensibilidad de ambos estudios podría deberse al uso de contraste endovenoso al momento de realizar la tomografía en los pacientes, mientras que en nuestro estudio la mayoría de estas fueron realizadas sin contraste, lo cual beneficiaría para visualizar y medir el grosor de la pared apendicular con mayor facilidad [24] .…”
