Analysis of 484 complicated cases showed higher white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein levels, indicating infection.
Comparative cohort study included 469 uncomplicated and 63 interval appendicitis cases, evaluating demographic and clinical outcomes.
Cumulative costs for non-operative management were higher due to increased rates of recurrence and readmissions.
