Out of 363 children admitted to a surgical unit with acute abdominal pain only 126 (35%) had an operation. Of these, 20 first underwent a period of "active observation." This procedure, used to help reach a diagnosis or decision in doubtful cases, is safe and useful and may be applied at home or in hospital.
在363名因急性腹痛入住外科病房的儿童中,只有126名(35%)接受了手术。其中,20名儿童首先经历了一段“积极观察期”。这一程序用于在疑难病例中辅助诊断或做出决策,既安全又有用,可在家中或医院实施。
