There are 4 clinical trials
The study aims to examine whether a nationwide lock-down with an entire population subjugated to social distancing reduces the incidence of appendicitis. If a reduction is detected it supports the hypothesis that infectious disease may play a role in the etiology of appendicitis.
Description: Appendectomy or other surgery for appendicitis
Measure: Appendectomy Time: 5 weeksDescription: Postoperative length of stay
Measure: Postoperative length of stay Time: 30 daysDescription: Overall mortality
Measure: Mortality Time: 30 daysDescription: Perforated appendicitis or periappendicular abscess
Measure: Incidence of complicated appendicitis Time: 5 weeksAppendicitis is one of the most common clinical conditions in general surgery. The diagnosis is usually made from clinical examination, imaging (sonography or CT) and laboratory parameters. The laparoscopic appendectomy without drainage has established as the gold standard. Patients usually leave the hospital two days after surgery. In times of corona crisis, patients are unsure to visit the hospital because of fear of infection with SARS-CoV-2. A higher incidence of perforated appendicitis could be an indicator for fear-related delay of going to the hospital. Methods: Investigators performed a retrospective analysis on the incidence of perforated appendicitis in a 10-week interval (mid-March to end of May) of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 to evaluate possible changes in times of corona crisis. Intraoperative findings, procedures, complications and the length of hospital stay were considered.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, non-operative management for acute appendicitis (AA) was implemented in the UK. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and outcomes of conservative versus surgical management of AA during the pandemic.
Description: Death secondary to acute appendicitis
Measure: Mortality Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationDescription: failure of conservative management and need to undergo surgery
Measure: Failure of primary proposed treatment Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationDescription: length of stay in hospital from admission date till discharge date or death
Measure: length of stay Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationDescription: Re-attendance to hospital after patient's discharge whether planned or unplanned
Measure: Re-attendance Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationDescription: imaging modality obtained and findings to confirm the diagnosis of acute appendicitis
Measure: Imaging Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationDescription: Intra-operative findings of pus or free fluid during appendicectomy
Measure: Intra-operative findings during surgery Time: within 90 days of a patient's initial presentationretrospective observational study of variation in incidence and clinical presentation of appendicitis during the pandemic in northern Italy, compared with the same period in the previous 2 years.

Data processed on December 13, 2020.
An HTML report was created for each of the unique drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms associated with COVID-19 clinical trials. Each report contains a list of either the drug, the MeSH terms, or the HPO terms. All of the terms in a category are displayed on the left-hand side of the report to enable easy navigation, and the reports contain a list of correlated drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms. Further, all reports contain the details of the clinical trials in which the term is referenced. Every clinical trial report shows the mapped HPO and MeSH terms, which are also hyperlinked. Related HPO terms, with their associated genes, protein mutations, and SNPs are also referenced in the report.
