Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies predictors for complicated appendicitis outcomes, highlighting operative findings and in-hospital delays.

Key Points

  • Delays in appendicectomy had a non-significant impact on operative findings and length of hospital stays.
  • Fever and elevated CRP levels were significantly linked to complicated appendicitis outcomes in patients.
  • A total of 198 patients were analyzed, with 74% diagnosed via CT imaging for appendicitis.
  • Patients showing specific predictors should be prioritized for surgery to optimize outcomes.
