Özet

BACKGROUND: Clinical scoring systems have been used to reduce negative appendectomy rate for several decades. However, the use of these systems has been questioned due to differences in their diagnostic accuracies. The aim of this prospective study was to develop a new clinical scoring system using a combination of all previously described variables for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA).
