Study Summary
When the appendix becomes infected and inflamed, it is called appendicitis. Sometimes, if the infection and inflammation get worse, the appendix can die or burst, leading to a larger infection or even pus pockets around the appendix. This is called complicated, or perforated, appendicitis. Three common treatments for complicated appendicitis are * appendectomy (removal of the appendix) right away * appendectomy several weeks after the diagnosis * treating the appendicitis without performing an appendectomy This study seeks to determine which of these three approaches is most cost-effective in children with complicated appendicitis.
Interventions
- DRUG Antibiotics
- PROCEDURE Early Appendectomy
- PROCEDURE Interval Appendectomy
