The results of prospectively determined scoring system for the diagnosis of appendicitis (sex, age, duration of symptoms, contracture, hyperleucocytosis) are reported. Between 1984 and 1989, 492 patients with suspected appendicitis were examined. Among the 208 operated patients, 169 had acute appendicitis (81.25 percent). Diagnosis of the abdominal pain was established in one of 3 patients without appendicitis (105/323; non operated patients or operated patients with normal appendix). Eighty-five percent of the non operated patients and 92 percent of the patients operated on with normal appendix have been followed (mean follow-up 26 months). Ten percent of the non operated patients (24/237) have been operated on during follow up; 13.9 percent of the operated patients with normal appendix (5/36) and 22.8 percent of the non operated patients (54/237) still complained of persistent right lower quadrant pain (no significative difference). In conclusion, a clinical scoring system is of help in suspected acute appendicitis. This attitude requires the cooperation of the general practitioner and must be well explained to families of patients.
