Evaluate the application of the new therapeutic model post Fast Track surgery, in complicated acute appendicitis, in pediatric population on the rate of complications postoperative in the form of abdominal abscesses.
Appendicitis (inflammation of the wall of the appendix, causing pain and tenderness in the abdomen) has a range of severity that goes from simple to complicated. Complicated appendicitis may present with infected fluid inside of the abdomen or a perforation or hole in the intestines. This research is being done to determine if placing an antibiotic solution in the abdomen at the time the appendix is removed is a safe procedure in patients between the ages of 3 and 18 years old with findings of complicated appendicitis. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHACH)'s current standard of care for patients with complicated appendicitis includes suctioning the infected fluid out of the abdomen at the time the appendix is removed. As part of this study, the investigators would like to see if patients with complicated appendicitis will benefit from routine care plus leaving an antibiotic solution inside the abdomen, after fully suctioning the infected fluid out of the abdomen.
Comparing the incidence of complicated appendicitis between two groups, the pandemic and pre-pandemic groups.
Background The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on medical services is overwhelming due to limited medical resources. During its initial surge in 2020, Taiwan's government rapidly established diverse public actions, which helped maintain the medical supply without travel restrictions. However, whether the fear of being infected with COVID-19 interfered with health-seeking behavior (HSB) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate whether acute complicated appendicitis (ACA) rates in adults were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A retrospective analysis of acute appendicitis in adults was performed between January 1 and June 30, 2020 (COVID-19 period). The control period was collected from the first two quarters for the preceding 3 years. Outcome measures were ACA and length of hospital stays.
The study was conducted on a medical record of previously treated patients for acute appendicitis at HFSUH, Harar, Ethiopia. The study design was case-control with a total sample size of 402.
The PIPA trial is a prospective, multicentre, cluster randomized cluster crossover non-inferiority study. We aim to test whether a three-day postoperative course of per oral antibiotics is non-inferior to a three-day postoperative course of intravenous antibiotics as standard care after laparoscopic surgery for complicated appendicitis in regards to the risk of postoperative intraabdominal abscess formation within 30-days
This is a randomized study of patients 2-17 years old who are diagnosed with perforated appendicitis and develop an abscess after laparoscopy that is subsequently drained. Patients will be randomized to either receive an 8-day or a 4-day course of antibiotics. The aim of this study is to determine whether duration of antibiotic treatment at discharge demonstrates significant differences in clinical outcomes.
This multicenter, prospective randomized controlled study is designed to applicate perioperative Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) management for children with acute complicated appendicitis, the aim is to promote postoperative recovery, shorten the hospital length of stay, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
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.
