Conclusion: These scoring systems have appropriate diagnostic power for diagnosis of PID and acute appendicitis. Euihyuk Kang, M.D., Hui Jai Lee, M.D., Jong Hwan Shin, M.D., Kijeong Hong, M.D., Jin Hee Jung, M.D. Purpose: Differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain of the childbearing age woman is a difficult challenge to the emergency physician. Clinical scoring systems for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and acute appendicitis have already been introduced. We want to validate these scoring systems externally. Methods: This study was conducted at a single urban teaching hospital emergency department from May 2011 to September 2013. Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected registry for reproductive-aged women was performed. Results: A total of 1432 patients were registered. Among them, 322 patients diagnosed as PID (177 patients) or acute appendicitis (145 patients) were finally analyzed in this study. Among the PID and acute appendicitis scored, lower and higher cut-off points were 3 and 8 for PID risk score, and 6 and 10 for appendicitis risk score. PID risk score of PID patients was 7.0 (±1.9), acute appendicitis patients was 4.3 (±2.1), and other patients was 4.0 (±2.2) (p<0.001). Appendicitis risk score of PID patients was 5.7 (±1.9), acute appendicitis patients was 9.0 (±2.1), and other patients was 5 (±1.6) (p<0.001).

PID risk score는 11점의점수체계로구성되어있으며 8점이상은고위험군으로분류하였으며 7~3점은중등도, 2점이하는저위험군으로분루하였다. Appendicitis risk score는총 14점의점수체계로 10점이상은고위험군, 9~6점은중등도, 5점이하는저위험군으로분류하였다. 본연구는 SPSS version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL), R 3.0.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) 을이용하여통계분석을시행하였다. 통계적인방법으로는연속성변수에대하여는정규분포를따르는경우에는티검증 (t-test) 및분산분석 (analysis of variance, ANOVA) 를사용하였으며정규분포를따르지않는경우에는만-위트니검정 (Mann-Whitney test) 및크러스칼-왈리스검정 (Kruskal-Wallis test) 을사용하였다. 범주형자료에대하여는카이제곱검정 (chi-square test) 을사용하였으며필요에따라서피셔의정확검정 (Fisher s exact test) 을사용하였다. 통계적으로유의한차이가있다고판단하는기준은 p<0.05인경우로하였다. 결과연구기간동안 1558명의가임기여성복통환자가설문을작성하였으며이중 127명이추적관찰이되지않거나진단이불명확하여최종적으로 1432명의환자가연구에등록되었다. 이중 177명이골반염혹은골반염관련질환 (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis 증후군등 ) 으로진단되었으며, 145 명의급성충수돌기염으로진단되었다. 골반염과급성충수돌기염및그외다른질환으로진단된환자들의기본자료들에대하여는 Table 1에표시하였다. 평균연령과결혼유무, 생리통유무는각군간에통계적으로유의한차이를보이지않았다. 하지만생리시진통제사용의빈도는급성충수돌기염이있었던환자에서낮게나타났다. 골반염환자에서는이전골반염병력과요로계증상을가진경우가많았으며자궁내장치의사용빈도가높고소화기계증상이적게나타났다. 급성충수돌기염으로진단받은환자에서는

Appendicitis risk score는골반염환자에서는 5.7 (±1.9), 급성충수돌기염환자에서는 9.0 (±2.1), 기타복통환자에서는 5.0 (±1.6) 으로역시통계적으로유의하게급성충수돌기염환자에서증가되어있었다 (p<0.001) (Table 1, Fig. 1). 전체환자중골반염진단에대하여 PID risk score를이용하여분할점 (receive operator characteristics (ROC) curve) 를구해보았을때곡선하영역 (area under curve, AUC) 은 0.832로측정되었다. 급성충수돌기염진단에대하여 Appendicitis risk score를이용하여 ROC curve를확인해보았을때 AUC는 0.905로측정되었다 (Fig. 2, 3). 고찰가임기여성의복통감별은쉽지않은문제이며, 특히수술이필요한급성충수돌기염과골반염의감별은임상적으로어려운문제이다. 따라서이전연구에서가임기여성에서의골반염과급성충수돌기염을감별하기위한몇몇시도가이루어져왔다 3-5). Webster 등은가임기여성에대한후향적연구에서급성충수돌기염에조금더유효한임상적예측인자로식욕부진과마지막생리시작일로부터 14일이후에발생한통증을들었고, 골반염에유효한임상적예측인자로질분비물의병력, 비뇨기계증상, 이전골반염의병력, 우측하복 Table 2. Scoring system of PID* and acute appendicitis.

Morishita 등 3) 은골반염과급성충수돌기염으로진단된가임기여성을대상으로후향적분석을시행하여복통의이동여부, 복부압통의유무, 구역구토의유무를이용하여골반염과급성충수돌기염을구분하는간단한알고리즘을제시한바있다. 하지만상기연구는골반염과급성충수돌기염만을구분하여분석한결과로복통의이동여부, 압통여부, 구역구토의여부만으로급성복통을가지는환자에서임상에적용하는데에는어려움이있으며골반염과관련이있을것으로추정되는산부인과적병력이나증상에대한고려가제외되어있어그한계가있다 4,11,12). Park 등 8) 은국내에서전향적으로수집된자료들을이용하여후향적으로다변량분석을시행하였으며부인과적증상을포함한 10가지의임상증상및검사결과를통하여골반염과충수돌기염을진단하기위한자세한점수체계를제시하였고, 당시연구집단에대해 ROC curve 를그렸을때, PID risk score는 0.896, Appendicitis risk score 는 0.910의높은 AUC 값을보여준바가있다. 본연구에서는상기점수체계를이용하여다른시기에전향적으로수집한자료를이용하여점수를계산하여위험도분류를시행하였으며실제로최종진단과비교하여점수체계의적절성여부를평가해보는외적타당도연구를시행하였다. 각각의점수체계에대하여 ROC curve를그려보았을때 PID risk score의 AUC는 0.832, appendicitis risk score는 0.905로측정되어높은진단적가치를보여주었다 (Fig. 2, 3). Park 등 8) 에의하여제시된점수에따른위험도분류를적 용하였을때, 골반염환자의경우 PID risk score가저위험으로측정된경우는 1.7% 였으며, Appendicitis risk score 가고위험으로측정된경우는 4.6% 였다. 골반염으로진단받았으며, PID risk score가저위험이며 Appendicitis risk score가고위험으로측정된경우는 0.6% 였다. 급성충수돌기염으로진단된환자에서 PID risk score가고위험으로측정된경우는 9.7%, Appendicitis risk score가저위험으로측정된경우는 5.6% 였다. PID risk score가고위험이면서 Appendicitis risk score가저위험인경우는없었다. 골반염및급성충수돌기염환자의각점수별분포를살펴보면골반염환자의경우 PID risk score가높게측정되며급성충수돌기염환자의경우 Appendicitis risk score가높게측정됨을확인할수있었다 (Fig. 1, Table 3, 4). 상기결과를종합할때 Park 등에의하여제기된골반염및급성충수돌기염의점수체계및이를이용한위험분류체계가응급실초기검사이후골반염과급성충수돌기염의감별을위한접근에도움이될것으로판단된다. 특히나 Morishita 등에의하여제시된점수체계가골반염과급성충수돌기염환자만을대상으로하였으며, 산부인과적인병력이나증상에대한고려가되어있지않으며타당도가검증되지않았음을감안할때본점수체계가비교우위에있다고하겠다. 점수확인을위한항목은 10가지로적은수는아니지만증상의발현시기, 발열여부, 복통의증상및부위, 간단히확인할수있는산부인과적인병력, 백혈구수치로이루어져응급실에서간단하게확인할수있을것으로기대된다. 이러한점수체계를골반염위험도가높게측정되는환자들에서는질경유초음파검사를포함한부인과적검진을 Table 3.
