Comparative Study of Modified Alvarado Score and Eskelinen Score in Diagnosing Acute Appendicitis

Introduction: Despite many advances in diagnosis, diagnosing appendicitis remains difficult. Various diagnostic scoring systems have been developed an attempt to improve the accuracy of acute appendicitis. The study aimed determine Modified Alvarado and Eskelinen score correlate histopathological findings with severity Materials Methods: A prospective was conducted TUTH including 84 patients a clinical diagnosis managed surgically for 10 months. Score were calculated correlated predicting Results: Out had sensitivity specificity 67.79% 32% when taken as 7 70.17% 29.62% 55. However, increased 92.85% 14.28% cut-off 6. predicted 67% 63% uncomplicated complicated respectively 72% 55 respectively. Conclusions: Both Scores low With cut off 6, increased. There no correlation between increase Score.
