This impact on comorbidity has a great interest various surgical pathologies, such as acute appendicitis, since it is most frequent emergency all age sex groups. However, there are few studies assessing effect body mass index (BMI) other parameters like Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio course appendicitis children. Objectives Identify BMI biomarkers CRP/albumin GPS clinical Patients (Materials) Methods prospective study conducted 90 pediatric patients (30 60 non-high BMI) admitted at Pediatric Surgery Department, Children Hospital Cairo University (CHCU) during period from March 2022 September 2022. All had preoperative laboratory tests, intraoperative assessment regarding type surgery, duration then assessment. Results Among patients, mean participants was 8.74 (2.23) years male predominance. Frequencies open surgeries were higher obese (children BMI). There significant positive correlation between GPS, an inverse albumin hospital length stay, surgery (operation time), fever. Conclusion relationship inflammatory nutritional markers
