Objective: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical condition presented to emergency. In this study we evaluated the clinical presentation, management and outcome of acute appendicitis complicating pregnancy at a tertiary care centre. Material And Methods: A total of 20 cases of pregnant women who were diagnosed as a case of acute appendicitis were studied from January 2018 to December 2020. Results: Total number of patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis were 20. There were 10 (50%) patients in rst trimester , 6 (30%) in second and 4 (20%) in the third trimester. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom seen in all patients. 12 (60%) patients were multigravida whereas 8 (40%) patients were primigravida. Duration of abdominal pain was 6 hours to 5 days with median of 30 hours. Right lower quadrant was the most common site of pain. Rebound tenderness was seen in 14 (70%) patients. Total leucocyte was raised in 14 (70%)cases. Ultrasound was done in all patients showing viable fetus and features of acute appendicitis in 12 (60%) cases. Surgery was done in 16 (80%) cases. Midline laparatomy was done in 3 patients whereas 4 (20%) patients were managed conservatively with antibiotics. Postoperative tocolytics were given in 6 patients. Postoperative complications such as wound infections seen in 5 cases and pelvic abscess in 1 case. Fetal loss was seen in 2 (10%)cases. Conclusion: Diagnosis of acute appendicitis during pregnancy can be difcult due to anatomical and biochemical changes during pregnancy. Correct diagnosis can be achieved by taking proper history, clinical examination and relevant investigations. Surgery remains the treatment of choice.

Aim- To assess the role of TLC and NLR and serum creatinine in diagnosing acute appendicitis. Background-Acute appendicitis being the most common surgical emergency globally can lead to varied consequences if not detected and treated accurately. Early and precise biochemical detectors affect the severity of acute appendicitis. Materials and methodology- A prospective study was conducted in K R Hospital, Mysore from 2019-2020. All cases of acute appendicitis during this period were assessed for severity. TLC, NLR and serum creatinine were assessed and correlated with severity of acute appendicitis. Results- A total of 96 patients were included in the study, 72 patients had SAA and 24 had CAA. This was classified in accordance to the cut off values. TC cut off point was 15,050 cells/cumm ,Sn 91.7 %, Sp 74.6%. The NLR cutoff value was 4.56, Sn of 83.3%, Sp of 66.2%. The cutoff value for neutrophil count was 77.6%, Sn 91.7% , Sp 71.18%. The cutoff value for lymphocyte count was 18.2%, Sn was 91.7%, Sp 65.8%. The cutoff value of creatinine was 0.73, Sn of 83.3%, Sp 80.03%. Conclusion- TC, TLC, NLR and Serum creatinine combinedly help distinguishing between the simple acute appendicitis and complicated acute appendicitis and is a very economical measure for the prediction
