Anticipating Urgency: Predictive Factors for Early Intervention in Appendicular Perforation
This study identifies key predictors of appendicular perforation, including age, pulse rate, abdominal rigidity, and peri-appendiceal collection. Peri-appendiceal collection emerged as a strong predictor (OR=7.09). Logistic regression and machine learning models showed moderate predictive power (AUC 0.54-0.58), with demographic trends influencing clinical outcomes.
