Abstract: ROC analysis confirmed that IL-6 showed the best trend in the diagnosis of AA. However, the diagnosis of AA was not greatly improved by any of the new serum markers as single on-admission tests.

“…DAVIES et al (7) colocaram a PCR como melhor indicador em relação ao LCG. Nos casos de perfuração do apêndice, parece ser ainda de maior valor (2,20) . Em contrapartida, HALLAN e ASBERG (15) afirmaram que, apesar da necessidade de cautela na decisão de abordagem operatória com PCR normal, é exame inferior em importância em relação ao LCG.…”

“…Several studies suggest that an elevated total leukocyte count is usually the earliest laboratory finding of appendiceal inflammation. [1,2,6,9] Neither leukocyte count nor neutrophil percentage is specific for acute appendicitis. Leukocytosis is a nonspecific reaction caused by acute or chronic inflammation, acute physical or emotional stress, and several other conditions.…”

“…Most of the previous studies have tried to compare the relationship between total leukocyte count and acute appendicitis using sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV using arbitrary cut-off points with the upper reference limit. [1,2,6,7,10,11] The difficulty with this type of analysis is that PPV and NPV are directly dependent on the prevalence of the disease. As these variables are obtained from various study Our present study has several limitations due to inherent flaws of a retrospective study.…”
