de Burlet KJ, et al. - In this work, researchers examined their institution's negative appendicectomy rate and the use of pre-operative imaging. Despite an increase in the number of appendicectomies performed at their institution over the last decade, the negative appendicectomy rate remained fairly static and the increased use of computed tomography (CT) scans did not further decrease the proportion of negative appendicectomies between 2009 and 2014.
