Percentage of Neutrophils and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Distinguishing Late from Early Prehospital Presentation of Perforated Appendicitis in Children
The percentage of neutrophils and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio can help distinguish between the late and early prehospital presentation of PA in children and may improve the accuracy of prehospital diagnosis. Less than 78.95% and 6.58, percentage of neutrophils and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, respectively, are indicative in late prehospital presentation of paediatric PA.
