Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score and imaging techniques for appendicitis in pregnant women.
- The findings indicated that while the AIR score showed high sensitivity and specificity, diagnostic imaging, primarily ultrasound, had lower accuracy rates.
- This research is significant as it could improve diagnostic protocols for suspected appendicitis in pregnant patients, potentially enhancing pregnancy outcomes by reducing unnecessary surgeries or delays.
