Study summary

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common emergency general surgical conditions worldwide and represents the leading cause of emergency abdominal surgery in children. In some cases, appendectomy may result in persistent or recurrent pain in the right iliac fossa, which may negatively affect quality of life, particularly in children. The primary aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of chronic pain at the third postoperative month in pediatric patients who underwent appendectomy. The age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities of patients aged 8-18 years who underwent appendectomy will be recorded. Pain in children who met the inclusion criteria was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). To evaluate the effects of pain on quality of life, the child and parent versions of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) were administered at the third postoperative month. In addition, the Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) was used at the third postoperative month to assess the impact of pain on the patient's functional status.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Chronic Pain After Appendectomy — At the third postoperative month
    The prevalence of chronic pain in pediatric patients who underwent appendectomy will be assessed at the third postoperative month using the Numeric Rating Scale NRS. NRS is a widely used measure that requires the patient to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. A score of 0 indicates no pain, scores of 1-3 indicate mild pain, scores of 4-6 indicate moderate pain, and scores of 7 or higher indicate severe pain. The NRS can be used to describe pain intensity in children older than 8 years of age.
