BACKGROUND: The current scores used to help diagnose acute appendicitis have a "gray" zone in which the diagnosis is usually inconclusive. Furthermore, the universal use of CT scanning is limited because of the radiation hazards and/or limited resour...
BACKGROUNDS: Acute Appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common surgical emergencies worldwide. This study aims to investigate the predictive performances of 6 different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for simple and complicated AA.
Acute appendicitis is a typical surgical emergency worldwide and one of the common causes of surgical acute abdomen in the elderly. Accurately diagnosing and differentiating acute appendicitis can assist clinicians in formulating a scientific and rea...
The diagnosis of abdominal pain in emergency departments is challenging, and appendicitis is a common concern. Atypical symptoms often delay diagnosis. Although the Alvarado score aids in decision-making, its low specificity can lead to unnecessary s...
This study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of automated machine learning (AutoGluon) with automated feature engineering and selection (autofeat), focusing on clinical manifestations, and a model integrating both clinical manifestations and CT findi...

Acute appendicitis (AA) is a common surgical emergency affecting 7-8% of the population. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing serious morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination, laboratory tests, ...
Rapid, accurate preoperative imaging diagnostics of appendicitis are critical in surgical decisions of emergency care. This study developed a fully automated diagnostic framework using a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify appendicitis ...
