[Quality of medical care for children with acute appendicitis].
The expediency of appendectomy in 6% of cases was questionable. The increase of the quota of catarrhal appendicitis among all its forms reflected authentically the low quality of diagnosis in the hospital. To prevent needless appendectomies, the first 12 hours of hospitalization should be accepted as the maximally admissible period of observation over the child to make a decision concerning operative treatment. The persistence of a high incidence of appendicular peritonitis, despite the increase in the percentage of timely hospitalization, was evidently linked with the changed immune status of the child population.
