Nationwide prospective audit for the evaluation of appendicitis risk prediction models in adults: right iliac fossa treatment (RIFT)—Turkey ➡️ Females had an almost three-fold higher negative appendicectomy rate despite lower likelihood to undergo surgery compared with males. The overuse of imaging tests, which is best exemplified by the 75.2% frequency of patients undergoing computed tomography, may lead to increased costs. Overtreatment and overuse of imaging should be addressed. When it comes to selection of risk scoring systems, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Appendicitis and Adult Appendicitis Score appear to be superior to Alvarado and Appendicitis Inflammatory Response in our population. Also, different population subgroups may require different scales to receive the best healthcare, for instance, Adult Appendicitis Score appears to be the best tool for risk stratification in immigrants.
