AB212. SOH26AB_0320. The rate of negative appendectomies in a paediatric population and correlation with appendicitis scoring systems and use of pre-operative imaging
Abstract
The clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis in paediatric patients remains challenging, with significant diagnostic uncertainty. This audit was performed to identify the negative appendicectomy rate in paediatric patients in our surgical unit, and aimed to evaluate factors affecting the negative rate.
