Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Karaman score is a novel diagnostic scoring system consisting of 6 parameters. The aim of the present studywas to assess the diagnostic performance of the Karaman score in comparison with the Alvarado score.METHODS: A total of 200 patients who underwent an appendectomy were enrolled in the study (research registry number: 2290).RESULTS: The cutoff threshold of the Karaman score in distinguishing acute appendicitis from negative appendectomy was ≥9with 84.3% sensitivity, 64.7% specificity, 92.1% positive predictive value (PPV), and 45.8% negative predictive value (NPV). The cutoffthreshold of the Alvarado score in distinguishing acute appendicitis from negative appendectomy was ≥8 with 72.9% sensitivity, 70.6%specificity, 92.4% PPV, and 34.8% NPV. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, an Alvarado ≥8 score (Odds ratio [OR]:6.644, 95%confidence interval [CI]: 2.854–15.466; p

Özet

AMAÇ: Karaman skorlama sistemi akut apandisit tanısında kullanılan ve 6 parametreden oluşan yeni bir tanısal skorlama sistemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Karaman skorunun akut apandisit tanı performansını Alvarado skoru ile karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya koymaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Akut apandisit tanısı ile apendektomi yapılan 200 hasta çalışmaya alındı. BULGULAR: Karaman skorunun akut apandisiti negatif apandektomiden ayırmadaki kestirim değeri ≥9 olup, sensitivitesi %84.3, spesifitesi %64.7, pozitif prediktif değeri %92.1 ve negatif prediktif değeri %45.8 olarak saptandı. Alvarado skorunun akut apandisiti negatif apandektomiden ayırmadaki kestirim değeri ise ≥8 olup, sensitivitesi %72.9, spesifitesi %70.6, pozitif prediktif değeri %92.4 ve negatif prediktif değeri %34.8 olarak saptandı. Multilojistik regreyon analizinde, yaş ve cinsiyete göre düzeltme yapıldığında; hem Alvarado ≥8 (OR=6.644, %95 CI: 2.854–15.466, p
