(A) Box plots displaying the Alvarado score distributions for cases with appendicitis (n = 34) and other causes of AAP (n = 34). Sensitivity and specificity thresholds are highlighted for ruling out appendicitis at a score of ≤ 4 (56% specificity, 88% sensitivity) and for identifying appendicitis at a score of ≥ 7 (27% sensitivity, 100% specificity). (B) Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plot using the Alvarado scoring system to predict the risk of appendicitis in the validation population. AAP, acute abdominal pain
