Abstract: We discuss existing knowledge in classification, causes and modern diagnosis strategies, such as technologies and risk scoring foe early detection of appendicitis. We conducted a literature search of Medline (PubMed), the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL up to January, 2018. We used MeSH terms and key words to generate sets for the following themes: appendicitis diagnosis approach. Acute appendicitis is among the most common abdominal emergency situations worldwide. The cause remains badly recognized, with few advancements in the previous few years. To get a confident preoperative diagnosis is still a challenge, since the opportunity of appendicitis have to be entertained in any kind of patient providing with an acute abdomen pain. Although biomarkers and imaging are important adjuncts to history and examination, their limitations mean that clinical assessment is still the mainstay of diagnosis In diagnosis variable combination of clinical symptoms and signs has been used with each other with laboratory findings in several scoring systems proposed for recommending the possibility of AA.
Keywords: diagnosis strategies, clinical symptoms, technologies, laboratory.
