| Core Tip |
This is a retrospective study to investigate the outcomes of conservative treatment for uncomplicated and complicated acute appendicitis. The success rate of conservative treatment of acute appendicitis was 89.7%. The significant and independent predictors of resistance to conservative treatment were body temperature ≥ 37.3 °C, appendicolith and Douglas sinus fluid. The rate of resistance to conservative treatment was 66.7% for patients with the above three factors, therefore, surgical treatment should be recommended at the first visit. Body temperature ≥ 37.3 °C, appendicolith and Douglas sinus fluid might be clinical risk factors for resistance to conservative treatment for acute appendicitis. |
