Informative value of ultrasonography and Alvorado scale in diagnosis of acute appendicitis

To assess the informative value of the Alvorado scale and ultrasound in the complex diagnosis of acute appendicitis, 60 patients aged 18 to 75 years with suspected acute appendicitis were examined. It has been established that the diagnostic criteria of acute appendicitis remain polymorphic, there are no specific signs. Improving the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and reducing the number of diagnostic and tactical errors is possible with a comprehensive and differentiated approach using the Alvorado scale and ultrasound.
