Does the current health care environment contribute to increased morbidity and mortality of acute appendicitis in children?

Abstract：

:To determine whether the current "gatekeeper" controls on health care lead to an increase in treatment delay and morbidity of acute appendicitis in children, we reviewed the experience with this disease at a large children's hospital over a 10-year period. One hundred seven consecutive children 18 years and younger operated on for acute appendicitis from July 1, 1988 to June 30, 1990 were compared with 119 children with the same diagnosis from July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1980. Age, sex, race, antecedent illnesses, initial physician contact and diagnosis, time to referral and operation, pathology, morbidity, and length of stay were reviewed. The two groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, race, antecedent illnesses, and negative appendectomy rate. More patients in the recent group were initially seen in an emergency room or urgent care setting than in the previous group (62.2% v 48.5%, P = .07). The accuracy of the initial diagnosis was significantly lower in the more recent group (P = .05). No change existed between the groups in the time to a physician; however, a significant (P = .04) difference existed in the time to surgeon (41.2 hours in the earlier group v 56.4 hours in the recent group). No significant difference existed between the groups in time from surgeon to operation. Although not statistically significant, the morbidity rate was increased in the recent group (13.3% v 6.5%, P = .17).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
