Protocol Based Selective Imaging Versus Routine Computed Tomography or Ultrasound in Suspected Appendicitis

Sponsor: Helsinki University Central Hospital

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protocol based selective imaging to routine imaging in adult patients with suspected appendicitis. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does protocol based selective imaging using clinical scoring affect clinical outcome? * Does protocol based selective observation combined with score based selective imaging affect clinical outcome? Participants will be randomized into three groups: * Selective imaging based on Adult Appendicitis Score * Selective observation based on Appendicitis Severity Score combined with selective imaging based on Adult Appendicitis Score * Routine imaging using ultrasound and/or computed tomography Researchers will compare selective imaging groups separately with routine imaging to see if number of negative appendectomies or number of complicated appendicitis is not significantly increased.
