Diagnostic Value of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index in Differentiating Acute Appendicitis From Familial Mediterranean Fever in Children
The systemic immune-inflammation index is significantly elevated in pediatric patients with acute appendicitis compared with those experiencing Familial Mediterranean Fever attacks and shows good diagnostic performance in this differential setting. The combined use of hematological indices may further enhance diagnostic discrimination and serve as a supportive tool in the evaluation of children presenting with acute abdominal pain.
