a) to carry out a prospective study of 200 cases of acute appendicitis in adult patients; b) to correlate clinical, laboratory, radiological, and pathological findings.
clinical data were collected from all patients; every patient had hematic biometry, urine exam (UE), abdominal radiography, an histopathological study appendix.
the patients were 98 males and 102 females; 66.5% were between 15 and 25 years old. All patients had abdominal pain, 56.5% nausea and vomit, 49% fever, 10.5% diarrhea, and 6% urinary symptoms. Post-operatory complications were seen in 24.5%. Leucocytosis greater than 10,000 was found in 82.5%, some alteration of UE in 45%, and abnormal radiography in 56.5%. Histopathological study showed simple appendicitis in 16.5%, hemorrhagic in 8%, purulent in 22%, hemo-purulent in 30.5%, an perforated in 21%.
the diagnosis of appendicitis is basically a clinical one, since 17.5% showed normal white-cell count, and 43.5% normal radiography.
a) 对200例成年急性阑尾炎患者进行前瞻性研究;b) 关联临床、实验室、放射学及病理学检查结果。
收集所有患者的临床资料;每位患者均进行血液生化检查、尿液检查(UE)、腹部X线检查及阑尾组织病理学研究。
患者中男性98例,女性102例;66.5%的患者年龄在15至25岁之间。所有患者均有腹痛,56.5%的患者有恶心呕吐症状,49%的患者发热,10.5%的患者腹泻,6%的患者有泌尿系统症状。术后并发症发生率为24.5%。82.5%的患者白细胞计数高于10,000,45%的患者尿液检查有异常,56.5%的患者腹部X线检查异常。组织病理学研究显示单纯性阑尾炎占16.5%,出血性阑尾炎占8%,化脓性阑尾炎占22%,出血化脓性阑尾炎占30.5%,穿孔性阑尾炎占21%。
阑尾炎的诊断基本依靠临床,因为17.5%的患者白细胞计数正常,43.5%的患者腹部X线检查正常。
