In a prospective study of 410 children who had a non-perforated appendix removed, the mean postoperative stay was 46 hours and 80% of patients were discharged within 48 hours. Twenty-two patients were readmitted, but neither the temperature of the patient, nor bowel motions passed prior to discharge were of any prognostic value in predicting those who would develop postoperative complications. The cost saving and the patient benefit of earlier return to home environment recommend this policy.
在一项对410名接受非穿孔性阑尾切除术儿童的前瞻性研究中,术后平均住院时间为46小时,80%的患者在48小时内出院。22名患者再次入院,但患者的体温以及出院前的排便情况对预测哪些患者会发生术后并发症均无预后价值。节省成本以及患者更早回归家庭环境所带来的益处支持了这一政策。
