A new score for predicting incidental appendiceal neoplasms in patients aged ≥40 years with acute appendicitis: a multicenter retrospective cohort study
This five-parameter scoring system demonstrates a high negative predictive value and may help identify low-risk patients in whom standard appendectomy can be safely performed. This model, which allows low-risk patients to be safely excluded thanks to its high negative predictive value, provides an innovative contribution to clinical decision-support systems.
