  • Randomized controlled trial assigning patients presenting with acute appendicitis to receive either appendicectomy or antibiotic therapy.
  • Specific primary event rates, relative risk, hazard ratios, and p-values are not reported in the provided text.
  • The trial qualitatively evaluates resolution of acute appendicitis and associated treatment outcomes between the surgical and antibiotic management arms.
