Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected the management strategies and patient outcomes for pediatric appendicitis in the UK and Ireland.
- Data was collected from 2002 children treated during the pandemic, revealing that a significant number were treated non-operatively, which was not seen in the pre-pandemic group.
- Findings indicated an increase in diagnostic imaging, a reduction in negative appendicectomy rates, and overall improved patient outcomes despite changes in management due to the pandemic.
