title: [Correlation of the length of the preoperative period and the severity of appendicitis].
abstract: 1364 appendectomy were performed by the authors in two hospitals (1976 to 1982 in City Hospital Nagyatád and 1983 to 1988 in Hungarian State Railways Hospital Szolnok). Patients were divided into groups according to degree of inflammation of appendix. Length of the elapsed time from the appearance of first symptoms to operation and degree of inflammation of the appendix were fixed. It is found that time-factor did not appear to be the most important determinant of degree of inflammation in a certain part of cases.
