Abstract
Diagnosis of appendicitis in children represents a continuing diagnostic dilemma for emergency room physicians and paediatric surgeons. If unnecessary surgery should be avoided, delayed diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis is responsible for complications. Use of a diagnostic clinical score may improve the management of children with abdominal pain. A prospective evaluation of an appendicitis score is presented here.
