Introduction: The purpose of this study was to look at outcomes of pediatric patients with early, acute appendicitis who were treated with non-operative management (NOM) with antibiotics. Primary outcomes were subsequent appendectomy or Emergency Department (ED) visits. Methods: The method used for this study was a retrospective chart review of children under the age of 18, looking at outcomes of those who received non-operative management (NOM) for early acute appendicitis between April 2014-April 2015. The inclusion criteria included: (a) Age 0-17, (b) US or CT suggested acute uncomplicated appendicitis (c) Final diagnosis of appendicitis during April 2014-2015. Outcomes that were investigated were repeat ED visits and need for subsequent appendectomy. Results: Data extracted from the EMR found 209 charts with an ED diagnosis of appendicitis. Two charts (.9%) were excluded as they were duplicates. Sixty-seven patients (32%) were excluded after appendicitis was ruled out. One hundred and forty patients (67%) had a final diagnosis of appendicitis, 124 patients (88.6%) were taken directly to the operating room for appendectomy, 16 patients (11.4%) were treated with antibiotics instead of operative management. Three patients who received non-operative management had complex appendicitis, 13 had acute uncomplicated appendicitis. Six patients out of 13 (46%) were successfully treated with antibiotics with no repeat visits to the ED or Pediatric Surgery for appendectomy, 7 patients (54%) required appendectomy after initial treatment with antibiotics. Two patients who underwent appendectomy after initial NOM had no evidence of clinical appendicitis, one patient was taken to the OR based on parent preference and one patient had an episode of abdominal pain that prompted an interval appendectomy four weeks post the episode of abdominal pain. Conclusion: Treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis with NOM remains a management option in the pediatric population. Further studies and long term follow up are required to better identify appropriate patients for non-operative management versus operative management.
