is identification of complicated appendicitis still an unexplored part in our journey of managing appendicitis or there are some variables that we have finally found out? kindly give references for what you say. Thanks.
There are some useful parameters for predicting complicated appendicitis. It is crucial to decide if non-operative treatment could be the choice. A nice manuscript has some of the answers.

An Appraisal of Inflammatory Markers in Distinguishing Acute Uncomplicated and Complicated Appendicitis.
A common severe abdominal pain can often be associated with a dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint. This is Baer's SI point. This can occur on either side. It is on a line from the ASIS to the umbilicus, two inches from the umbilicus. Not to be confused with the appendicitis point which is two inches from the ASIS. I saw a patient with a 4 year history of abdominal pain and LBP. She had both ovaries removed and still had symptoms. I did a manual posterior innominate correction and she was free of pain in both the low back and abdomen. She was a little miffed about the unnecessary loss of her ovaries.
