Abstract

BACKGROUND In order to distinguish individuals with a difficult perforated appendicitis from those with an acute appendicitis that is not too complicated, there is a growing need for quick and safe markers. That is why the current study was conducted to see if a higher-than-normal bilirubin level may be used as a predictor of an appendicular perforation diagnosis. METHODS Between October 2021 and October 2022, 100 patients who had been hospitalised at Government Vellore Medical College and Hospital for acute appendicitis and were undergoing emergency appendectomy participated in a prospective, non-randomized observational study. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was used to total and analyse the data that was gathered. The odds ratio, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were computed using a 2 x 2 table.
