In its early stages appendicitis often manifests itself by uncharacteristic symptoms, which may result in delayed diagnosis and treatment. A greater number of physicians are reported to the Health Services Disciplinary Board (HSDB) for missed appendicitis today than formerly, and disciplinary measures are more severe. This is shown by a unique breakdown of reported cases for three periods between 1945 and 1997.
阑尾炎在早期阶段常常表现为不典型的症状，这可能导致诊断和治疗的延误。据报道，如今向卫生服务纪律委员会（HSDB）报告的因漏诊阑尾炎而受处分的医生比以前更多，而且纪律处分也更严厉。这一点在1945年至1997年期间三个阶段报告病例的独特分类中得到了体现。
