Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study analyzed clinical and laboratory data in children with appendiceal peritonitis. The authors assessed common symptoms of this disease, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, as well as laboratory test results, including white blood cell levels, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and others. The results showed that certain clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters can help in the early diagnosis and treatment of this condition in children, thereby preventing serious complications. Thus, the results obtained may be useful for improving diagnosis and optimizing treatment approaches for appendiceal peritonitis in children.
