Article Synopsis
- Acute appendicitis is a leading cause of abdominal pain necessitating surgical intervention, with a significant global prevalence and a lifetime risk of 7%.
- The study compares two diagnostic scoring systems, MASS and modified RIPASA, highlighting that the latter includes more comprehensive parameters that enhance accuracy, particularly in Asian populations.
- A cross-sectional study with 40 patients was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of both scoring systems in diagnosing acute appendicitis, aiming to reduce unnecessary surgeries by analyzing sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values based on clinical findings and histopathological results.
