Acute appendicitis in childhood: a feasibility study of computer-assisted diagnosis.

The case records of 169 children admitted to hospital with suspected appendicitis were subjected to Bayesian analysis in order to determine whether computer-assisted diagnosis would be likely to reduce the negative laparotomy rate. The results suggest that the negative laparotomy rate could be reduced from 27% to 18% if computer-assisted diagnosis was used.
