T1 0-57 Sentence denotes The impact of ultrasound in suspected acute appendicitis.
T2 58-63 Sentence denotes AIMS:
T3 64-224 Sentence denotes To evaluate prospectively the impact of an appendix ultrasound (US) service on the clinical management of patients presenting with suspected acute appendicitis.
T4 225-247 Sentence denotes MATERIALS AND METHODS:
T5 248-351 Sentence denotes The referring clinician completed a proforma for patients presenting with suspected acute appendicitis.
T6 352-456 Sentence denotes Two visual analogue scales assessed clinical suspicion before and after knowledge of laboratory results.
T7 457-538 Sentence denotes The clinician also indicated if they intended to operate had US been unavailable.
T8 539-677 Sentence denotes During a 3-year period, 327 patients were examined by graded-compression US and diagnosed "positive" or "negative" for acute appendicitis.
T9 678-731 Sentence denotes Findings were correlated with histopathology results.
T10 732-830 Sentence denotes The referring clinician completed a retrospective audit questionnaire to assess user satisfaction.
T11 831-839 Sentence denotes RESULTS:
T12 840-906 Sentence denotes Clinical suspicion was altered by knowledge of laboratory results.
T13 907-1046 Sentence denotes The decision to operate if US had been unavailable, was "yes" in 70 cases (group A), "no" in 231 (group B), and incomplete in 26 (group C).
T14 1047-1120 Sentence denotes In group A, 31 patients (44.3%) had a negative US and 25 avoided surgery.
T15 1121-1219 Sentence denotes US identified 39 cases of appendicitis and 37 appendicectomies confirmed appendicitis in 34 cases.
T16 1220-1329 Sentence denotes In group B, 72 (31.2%) patients had a positive US and 66 appendicectomies confirmed 51 cases of appendicitis.
T17 1330-1409 Sentence denotes The sensitivity of US was 94.7% in group A, 93.3% in group B and 93.8% overall.
T18 1410-1479 Sentence denotes Specificity was 90.6% in group A, 91.2% in group B and 91.3% overall.
T19 1480-1551 Sentence denotes US findings were contrary to intended surgical management in 103 cases.
T20 1552-1634 Sentence denotes Management was altered in 97 cases (32.2%), with a positive outcome in 85 (28.2%).
T21 1635-1717 Sentence denotes The referrers found US of appendix very useful in planning appropriate management.
T22 1718-1915 Sentence denotes CONCLUSION: US of the appendix increases diagnostic accuracy, alters management and is more sensitive and specific than clinical impression, either alone, or in conjunction with laboratory results.
