Abstract:Objective To explore the application value of ultrasonic examination in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.Methods A total of 60 patients with suspected acute appendicitis admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to march 2019 were selected as the subjects. All the patients were examined by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), and the gold standard was surgical and pathological diagnosis. The positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the two methods were compared. Results The diagnosis of acute appendicitis was positive in 55 cases and negative in 5 cases. The accuracy of ultrasonography was 85.00% (51/60), higher than that of CT (70.00% [42/60]), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The sensitivity (85.45% [47/55]), specificity (80.00% [4/5]), positive predictive value (97.92% [47/48]) and negative predictive value (33.33% [4/12]) of ultrasonography were not statistically significant compared with those of CT (72.73% [40/55], 40.00% [2/5], 93.02% [40/43]and 11.76% [2/17]) (P>0.05). Conclusion The application value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is significant, its accuracy is high, and it is worth popularizing.
