Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio for preoperative risk stratification of complicated appendicitis in children: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Preoperative risk assessment of complicated appendicitis in children holds substantial clinical importance. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and the occurrence of complicated appendicitis in pediatric patients.

Methods

A total of 814 pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy in a single-centre retrospective cohort design were enrolled in this study. The primary outcome was defined as the occurrence of complicated appendicitis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between NPAR and complicated appendicitis, complemented by stratified and threshold effect analyses. The regression model was adjusted for potential confounders including age,
