Methods: From October 2008 to January 2009, we prospectively reviewed 152 patients with suspected appendicitis. The patients were classified into adults and children groups. We then determined cut-off values of the Alvarado score by analyzing each score s sensitivity and specificity. Results: Of the 147 patients, 96 patients were adults and 51 were children. The mean Alvarado score for adults and children were 6.08±1.85, and 6.69±1.43 in appendicitis and 4.32±2.02, and 4.60±1.81 in non-appendicitis, respectively. In adults, the sensitivity of the Alvarado scores 7 or higher for appendicitis was 66.2%, and the specificity was 67.7%. And the sensitivity of the Alvarado scores 4 or lower for non-appendicitis was 58.1%, and the specificity was 81.5%. In children, the sensitivity of the Alvarado scores 7 or higher for appendicitis was 80.8%, and the specificity was 68.0%. And the sensitivity of the Alvarado scores 4 or lower for non-appendicitis was 52.0%, and the specificity was 92.3%. Conclusion: The cut-off values for Alvarado score were not different according to age of the patient. If the Alvarado score is 7 or higher, surgical management is recommended, and if the Alvarado score is 4 or lower, observation without CT or US is recommended. In equivocal appendicitis as defined by the Alvarado scores 5 to 6, adjunctive CT or US are recommended to confirm appendicitis.

5 104 J Korean Surg Soc. Vol. 78, No. 2 이도 95% 라고보고하였다. 복부초음파에대해서 Zielke 등 (18) 은민감도 86%, 특이도 96% 라고하였고, Douglas 등 (12) 은민감도 94.7%, 특이도 88.9% 라고하였다. 본연구에서도컴퓨터단층촬영술및복부초음파의민감도와특이도는각각성인에서 95.4%, 100%, 소아에서는 96.2%, 92.0% 로높은진단율을보였다. 하지만이러한높은진단율에도불구하고이의무분별한사용에대한부정적인의견도제기되고있다.(19) 환자의비용부담및재원기간의증가와검사자의능력에따른진단율의차이가발생할수있으며, 컴퓨터단층촬영술의경우방사선노출이나조영제사용에따른부작용의위험이있을수있다.(1,6) 또한수술전컴퓨터단층촬영술의시행이임상소견에의한진단보다정확도가높지않았으며,(20,21) 음성충수절제술비율을낮추지못했다는연구결과가보고되기도하였다.(22,23) 이러한점에서급성충수돌기염이의심되는모든환자에게컴퓨터단층촬영술이나복부초음파를시행하는것은비효율적이며, 환자의임상증상을토대로하여급성충수돌기염의여부를판단하기어려운경우에선택적으로추가적인영상진단방법을시행하는것이적절할것이다. 이를위해환자의임상증상을객관화하기위한여러임상점수제가도입되어사용되고있으며 (4,11) Alvarado score가가장대표적인점수제로 (24) 이는쉽고빠르며, 경제적인동시에비침습적인방법이다. Alvarado(10) 는대상환자들의임상증상과검사소견을점수화하여세군으로분류하였으며, 급성충수돌기염이강하게의심되는 7 10점인경우즉각적인수술을하도록하였고, 급성충수돌기염의가능성이떨어진다고판단한 0 4점인경우는추가검사없이귀가조치하도록하였다. 또한점수만으로는판단이애매한 5 6점인경우에는급성충수돌기염을진단하기위한추가검사를시행할것을권고하였다. 이후이와관련된연구들이진행되었으며 Macklin 등 (24) 은 Alvarado와같은점수인 7점을 cut-off value로정하고이때의민감도와특이도를 76.3%, 78.8% 로보고하였다. 또한 Jang 등 (1) 은 Alvarado의결과와달리 6점이상인경우를 cut-off value로정하여이때의민감도와특이도를 88.3%, 94.5% 라고하였고, Sun 등 (4) 도 6점이상일때의민감도와특이도를 72.8%, 61.6%, 양성예측도와음성예측도를각각 71.7% 와 72.8% 로보고하였다. 이러한기존의연구들은주로성인을대상으로한것으로소아에대한연구는아직까지미미한상태이다.(24) 이에저자들은연구를진행함에있어대상환자를성인과소아로구분하여각각의결과를비교 하였다. 본연구에서는 Alvarado의연구결과와같이급성충수돌기염을진단하기에가장적절한 cut-off value로 7점을정하였으며이는성인과소아에서동일한결과를보였다. 이때의민감도와특이도는성인에서 55.4%, 83.9% 였고소아에서는 61.5%, 88.0% 였다. 또한비충수돌기염을판단하기에가장적절한 cut-off value도성인과소아에서모두 4점이었으며이때의민감도와특이도는각각성인에서 67.7%, 81.5%, 소아에서 64.0%, 92.3% 였다. 조직학적으로충수돌기염이확인된경우 Alvarado score 에따른염증의정도를평가하기위한연구가진행되었으며, Lee 등 (2) 에의하면점수가높을수록충수돌기의염증이심해지는결과를보였다고하였다. 본연구에서도이와유사한결과를보였으나성인의경우통계학적으로유의하지는않았다. Alvarado score가컴퓨터단층촬영술이나복부초음파에비해진단율이떨어지기는하지만급성복증환자의초진시에활용하기에효과적이며, 음성충수절제술의비율도크게높지않아약 7%,(25) 8.7%,(6) 11.5%(1) 등의연구결과가보고되고있다. 본연구결과에서도 Alvarado score만이용했을경우예상되는음성충수절제술의비율은성인에서 16.1%, 소아에서 12.0% 로일반적으로용인되는 12 15%(2,4) 를크게벗어나지는않았다. 결 급성충수돌기염을진단함에있어 Alvarado score는성인과소아모두에서이용가능하며적절한처치를결정하기위한 cut-off value는연령에따른차이를보이지않았다. Alvarado score가 7 10점인경우는수술을시행하고, 0 4 점인경우는추가검사없이외래추적관찰을하며, 5 6점으로진단이어려운경우에는컴퓨터단층촬영술이나복부초음파와같은추가검사를시행할필요가있을것으로사료된다. 또한소아의경우 score와염증의정도는비례하는것으로분석되므로신속한처치가필요할것으로생각한다. 론 REFERENCES 1) Jang SO, Kim BS, Moon DJ.
