Abstract

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of an acute abdomen in young adults. In this study, our aim was to evaluate preoperative ultrasonography for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Methods: Study design was a cross sectional. Record review was done on the clinical records of 125 individuals who had appendices removed between January 2022 and June 2023. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography, and the positive and negative predictive values of ultrasound were analyzed.

Results:

A preoperative ultrasonography examination was performed on 125 patients. In our study the USG has 94.8% sensitivity and 80% specificity for diagnosing AA. The predictive value of positive test was 98.2% and negative test was 57.1%.

 

Conclusions: The pre operative USG and per-operative findings for acute appendicitis is highly corelated.
