Background: Both the CODA trial and the 2020 WSES Jerusalem guidelines concluded that nonoperative management of appendicitis (NOMA) was non-inferior for uncomplicated appendicitis but appendicoliths increase risk for complications. Thus "Appendicoliths on CT" are a relative contraindication to NOMA but accuracy of CT in identifying appendicoliths is just assumed.
Materials And Methods: We conducted an EMR review of 1552 appendectomy patients, who had pre-operative CT scans for suspected acute appendicitis from 2001-2019.

Introduction: Current severity classification of appendicitis does not take into account the impact of bloodstream infection (BSI), despite the importance of BSI in critical care settings. Therefore, we examined whether BSI in emergency appendectomy indicated for acute appendicitis has a clinical impact.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute appendicitis who underwent emergency surgery at our department between July 2015 and January 2020.
