Abstract

Aim: To study the Alvarado Scoring System in diagnosing acute appendicitis.usefulness of Alvarado Scoring System in cutting down the rate- of negative Appendicectomy without increasing morbidity and mortality. Material and methods: Study was carryout in the Govt.General Hospital,Nizamabad with Patients with symptoms & signs of acute appendicitis and suspected enough to warrant surgery for acute appendicitis. The application of this scoring system improves diagnostic accuracy and consequently reducesResults: negative appendicectomy and thus reduces complication rates. This study shows that Alvarado scoring system can be used toConclusion: diagnose acute appendicitis in the emergency department. It is easy and quick to apply. It also allows observation and re-observation regarding clinical behaviour of patient, whether or not to intervene for surgery.
