    Author: Ozerov VF, Levkovskiĭ SN.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1989 Mar; 142(3):83-6. PubMed ID: 2750015.
    Abstract:
    The use of the bias strategy of the statistical conclusion allows to substantially improve differential diagnostics of acute appendicitis and appendicular colic at the expense of complex account of clinical manifestations as a sum of their diagnostic coefficients. The algorithm of the assessment of the clinical manifestations is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity which allows to avoid missing the diagnosis of acute appendicitis where it takes place and to minimize (not more than 4%) hyperdiagnostics of appendicitis in appendicular colic.
