| Popis: | Studies have suggested that immature granulocyte percentage (IG%) levels may be an early marker of inflammation. In this study, it was tried to investigate whether there is a diagnostic value of IG% in appendicitis patients. This study was conducted retrospectively between the dates of 01.01.2018 and 01.05.2019 at Mersin University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine. Patients over 18 years of age who were admitted to the emergency department and operated with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis were included in the study. The patients were classified into three groups as normal (control group), simple and complicated appendicitis. A total of 353 patients with a pre-diagnosis of appendicitis, 194 (55%) male, were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was calculated as 35.1 ± 14.0. The leukocyte parameter was found to be significant in distinguishing the disease; It was determined that the values of the patient group were higher than the values of the control group. (p values, respectively; 0.022 and 0.038). For CRP parameter; those with inflamed appendix were found to be lower than those with perforated appendicitis (p |
