NCT ID: NCT03159754 Completed - Appendicitis Clinical Trials

Optimal Care of Complicated Appendicitis

Start date: June 29, 2017
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

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.
