The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Enterobius vermicularis and the occurrence of acute appendicitis. Over a ten year period of time, all appendix specimens received by the department of pathology were reviewed for pathologic changes and the existence of E. vermicularis. Logistic regression was carried out to determine the odds ratio (OR) of the relationship between E. vermicularis and acute appendicitis. A total of 5048 specimens were reviewed. E. vermicularis was found in 144 (2.9%) cases. After separating by sex and adjusting for age logistic regression analysis showed the OR of E. vermicularis appendiceal infestation was 1.275 (95% CI = 0.42-3.9) for males and 1.678 (95% CI = 0.61-4.65) for females. Age was an independent risk factor for acute appendicitis in males (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 1.003-1.017) and females (OR = 1.012, 95% CI = 1.005-1.02).
本研究的目的是评估蛲虫与急性阑尾炎发生之间的关系。在十年期间，对病理科接收的所有阑尾标本进行了病理变化和蛲虫存在情况的检查。进行逻辑回归以确定蛲虫与急性阑尾炎之间关系的优势比（OR）。共检查了5048个标本。在144例（2.9%）病例中发现了蛲虫。按性别分开并调整年龄后，逻辑回归分析显示，男性蛲虫阑尾感染的OR为1.275（95%可信区间=0.42-3.9），女性为1.678（95%可信区间=0.61-4.65）。年龄是男性（OR=1.01，95%可信区间=1.003-1.017）和女性（OR=1.012，95%可信区间=1.005-1.02）急性阑尾炎的独立危险因素。
