A. Analisis PICO
1 Patient Acute appendicitis
2 Intervention Operative method, antibiotic (s)
3 Comparison Surgery, Appendectomy, COVID-19, cost
4 Outcomes Resolutions of symptom, length of stay, recurrence
of the disease, need for surgery, compare the
demographic and clinical parameters
5 Question How to compare the demographic and clinical
parameters between two subject before the onset
of lockdown and within the pandemic
Alasan terbesar dalam keadaan ini bisa jadi karena penutupan rumah
sakit swasta di sekitar wilayah tersebut setelah lockdown dimulai
berdasarkan tempat tinggal pasien. Ini semakin memperburuk status
penyakit pasien yang berkembang ke kompleksitas yang dapat dicontohkan
oleh peningkatan tingkat perforasi dan kasus rumit. Studi kami
menunjukkan tingkat perforasi yang hampir sama meskipun ada sedikit
peningkatan tingkat perforasi pada kelompok B sebesar enam persen
dibandingkan dengan pasien kelompok A (20% vs 14,2%) meskipun secara
statistik tidak signifikan, sementara total kasus dengan komplikasi
meningkat sekitar 7% (16,67% vs 24%).

conclusion about the paper? Would you use it to change your practice or to recommend changes to
care/interventions used by your organisation? Could you judiciously implement this intervention
without delay?
During the adversity of COVID-19, number of cases of AA, duration of presentation to
hospital and complicated cases along with the perforation rate tend to increase in
comparison to the cohort before the pandemic. Appendectomy should be the
mainstay of treatment as the conservative approach in the fear of the pandemic might
not be cost effective in areas of lowincome countries.
