Potential biomarkers of perforated appendicitis show association with severe sepsis
Machine learning enabled researchers to identify genetic biomarkers to predict perforated appendicitis in children with suspected appendicitis, according to a single-center prospective exploratory diagnostic study. Whole blood transcriptome analysis of 71 children reveals four genetic signatures that predict perforated rather than simple appendicitis with 85.7% accuracy, says Dr. Robert Hancock of the University of British […]
