Diagnostic Algorithm for Appendizitis (DIALAPP)

NCT02627781 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Last updated 2016-09-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The diagnosis of acute appendicitis remains a challenge in daily clinical practice. The high incidence of appendicitis drives the need to reduce morbidity and unnecessary costs due to negative appendectomies. The aim of the present observation study is to evaluate a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for suspected acute appendicitis.

The investigators believe that this diagnostic algorithm helps to simultaneously avoid unnecessary operations, costs and radiation exposure.
