“Although medical treatment has proven to be a successful method of treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis, there is still controversy over which treatment to apply. It is intended that the computed tomography (CT) appendicitis score, which carries the information of all CT parameters, gives us an idea about the severity of acute appendicitis, such as the Alvarado score.”

“A retrospective analysis was conducted on 138 patients with acute appendicitis who underwent CT between 2015 and 2019. In this study, medical treatment group (n = 60) versus surgical treatment group (n = 78) and successful antibiotic treatment group (n = 23) versus unsuccessful antibiotic treatment group (n = 14) were compared.”
