A "textbook outcome" patient is defined as one whose surgical course is uneventful, with no complications, readmissions, or mortality. There is a lack of published research regarding textbook outcomes with an acute appendicitis that are treated with an appendectomy.
The objective of this study is to analyze the attainment of textbook outcomes (TO) in patients undergoing urgent appendicectomy (UA) for acute appendicitis and to identify the factors associated with achieving TO.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Textbook Outcomes | Classical assessments, focused solely on mortality and morbidity, are increasingly considered insufficient. A more comprehensive approach, using composite measures, offers a more accurate evaluation, providing a multidimensional view and patient-centred healthcare appraisal. The textbook outcome (TO) is the most used objective composite measure to compare surgical quality across centres | 2022-2024 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Appendectomy in less than 24h | From diagnostic of Acute Appendicitus to Surgical Treatment should be less than 24h | 2022-2024 |
| Hospital Stay less than 5 days | Optimal hospital stay should be less than 5 days |
