Use of the Alvarado scoring system was assessed prospectively in a consecutive series of 215 patients with suspected appendicitis over a 12 month period at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. In comparison the high negative appendicectomy rate during the year prior to the study was reduced considerably with the scoring system without increasing morbidity or mortality.
