Abstract
:
Appendicectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures utilizing a significant amount of healthcare resources. Because of a high volume of the disease, it is important that strict protocol be designed and adhered to for diagnosis, operation, and management of the cases. This study was designed to review the existing “Discharge Planning Process”, physician-specific “Diagnostic Accuracy Rate”, and length of stay (LOS) for primary cases of acute appendicitis. Two hundred and thirty-four (234) cases, admitted during May I and September 30, 1996, were included in the study. Average LOS was found to be 3.94 days (median=3 and 4 days) with a physician-specific variation between 3.38-4.60 days (t=9.ll, P<0.00l). Diagnostic accuracy was found to be 92.7% with a physician-specific variation between 75.0% and 100%. Diagnostic accuracy for males was 92.7% while for females it was 79.7% (x2=8.35, P<0.001).
