Official title
Clinical Outcomes and Charges After Risk Stratification by Pediatric Appendicitis Risk Calculator (pARC) in Children With Appendix Ultrasounds at a Tertiary Care Pediatric Hospital
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common condition requiring emergency surgery in children. At a network of institutions nationwide, a tool called the pediatric appendicitis risk calculator (pARC)1 is being studied to assess patient's true risk of appendicitis and provide guidance for clinical management to ER physicians. Preliminary studies have found the pARC to be more accurate at predicting risk of appendicitis in children when compared to other scoring systems. The study objective is to assess acute care charges and clinical outcomes among children with an appendix ultrasound and a pARC score of less than \< 25% risk.
