Preoperative inflammatory markers in pediatric appendicitis: associations with disease severity, postoperative recovery, pain, and surgical outcomes
Elevated preoperative inflammatory markers are associated with increased disease severity and can predict prolonged recovery, higher postoperative pain, and a greater risk of complication among confirmed pediatric appendicitis cases. These findings support their clinical use in risk stratification and personalized perioperative management.
