title: [Clinical standardization in acute abdominal pain].
abstract: The correct diagnosis in acute abdominal pain is necessary for adequate treatment. In several clinical studies it has been shown that, despite improvements in laboratory and technology medicine, errors occur in a considerable proportion of cases due to insufficient history-taking and clinical examination. By the introduction of a standardised and structured history and clinical examination, the diagnostic accuracy can be improved by at least 10%. The aim of this publication is to improve history-taking, clinical examination and diagnostic decision-making by exact definition of all relevant parameters. This was performed by a national clinical expert group, international standardisations were taken in consideration. The standardisation was based mainly on these existing international standardisations (World Organisation of Gastroenterology); however, revisions and corrections were necessary. In order to introduce the standardisation into clinical routine, a documentation form and a documentation program can be provided.
