摘要：
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the integration of ultrasound (US) findings with Alvarado score in diagnosing or excluding acute appendicitis. Methods Data were analyzed in 122 pediatric patients with suspected appendicitis who had undergone US. The US findings were classified into four groups, and the patients were classified into three groups according to Alvarado score. US results and Alvarado score were compared. Results Alvarado score was a good predictor of appendicitis for scores ≥7. Conclusion In the case of non-visualization of the appendix without a high Alvarado score, appendicitis can be safely ruled out. © 2013 The Authors.
