阑尾炎是儿科年龄组最常见的腹部外科急症。尽管是一种相对常见的疾病，但在许多情况下，儿童阑尾炎的诊断可能具有挑战性。这篇文章的目的是审查的预测效用提出的体征和症状，实验室检查和影像学研究在诊断工作的阑尾炎。此外，我们试图探索基于多个诊断信息来源的综合指标的预测效用，以及临床路径作为简化诊断过程的一种手段的效用。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Appendicitis represents the most common abdominal surgical emergency in the pediatric age group. Despite being a relatively common condition, the diagnosis of appendicitis in children can prove to be challenging in many cases. The goal of this article is to review the predictive utility for presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging studies in the diagnostic work-up of appendicitis. Furthermore, we sought to explore the predictive utility of composite measures based on multiple sources of diagnostic information, as well as the utility of clinical pathways as a means to streamline the diagnostic process.
