General description
Acute appendicitis, one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain, is often a perplexing diagnostic problem during the early stages of the disease. The Alvarado score is a clinical scoring system used to stratify patients based on the probability of acute appendicitis.
Alvarado score consists of 6 clinical items (migration of pain, anorexia/acetone in the urine, nausea/vomiting, right lower quadrant tenderness, rebound pain, elevated temperature) and 2 laboratory measurements (leukocytosis, neutrophils > 75 % in the differential blood count). The resulting score stratifies patients into 4 risk groups.
The Alvarado score has been externally validated and is recommended by the 2020 update of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis. The WSES guidelines recommend the use of clinical scores (such as Alvarado) to exclude acute appendicitis and to identify intermediate-risk patients in need of imaging diagnostics. However, they suggest against using the Alvarado score to positively confirm the clinical suspicion of acute appendicitis in adults.
