Radiomic Modeling in Differentiating Uncomplicated From Complicated Acute Appendicitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Non-operative management (NOM) with antibiotics may be a safe alternative to surgery for uncomplicated appendicitis, but preoperative differentiation between uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis is challenging. The study aimed to develop a clinical-radiomics nomogram to distinguish uncomplicated from complicated appendicitis.
