DiseaseLandscape Insights (DLI) provides extensive research on the Appendicitis domain. Let’s look into the Appendicitis landscape to stay firmer and grow continuously in the field.

Appendicitis is a prevalent condition that individuals are experiencing worldwide and has become a general medical problem. Appendicitis is the most frequent abdominal surgical emergency globally, and its prevalence is changing.

However, in 2019 as per the NIH, there were 672,203 prevalent cases, 211,113 cases of years lived with disability (YLD), and 17,698,765 incident cases of Appendicitis reported worldwide. Appendicitis is most prevalent between the ages of 10 and 20, although no age group is protected with a lifetime risk of 8.6% for males and 6.7% for females. In England, Appendicitis is the cause of about 40,000 hospital admissions annually which shows symptoms of Appendicitis.

Appendicitis causes a variety of symptoms from mild to severe. Right lower abdomen discomfort, nausea, vomiting, swollen belly, urinary symptoms, bowel paralysis, reduced appetite and constipation are typical symptoms of Appendicitis. However, most of the population doesn't exhibit these typical symptoms. Prolonged condition of Appendicitis develops severe complications.

Many intestinal tract infections, including those brought on by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, result in Appendicitis. On the other hand, it occurs when feces obstruct or trap the tube connecting the appendix and large intestine. Tumors can occasionally result in Appendicitis. Furthermore, according to the NIH, 2.9% of patients with acute appendicitis acquired colorectal cancer, compared to 0.1% of those who did not develop it. 

Globally, Appendicitis continues to be a serious public health concern. Reducing the burden of Appendicitis requires raising knowledge of the condition, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection and treatment.

The development of new techniques and novel products for the treatment and diagnosis of Appendicitis Disease has been considered an essential part of increasing the opportunities for the industry player. As a result, it contributes to the outsourcing of the expanding items.

Appendicitis Diagnostic Analysis -

“Appendicitis Diagnostic Advancement: Improving Patient Care"

Appendicitis is normally diagnosed using a combination of medical history and physical examination. If the signs of the patient match with the symptoms of Appendicitis Disease, then the following tests are used to diagnose the illness correctly.

1. Blood Tests-

Blood tests are performed to check the level of WBCs as an increased level of WBCs indicates the presence of infection. Generally, C-reactive protein is the major biomarker to check the presence of inflammation. To rule out urinary tract infection urinalysis is helpful. 

 The potential risk of a blood test is quite low. The area where the needle was inserted may cause some little discomfort or bruises, but these normally go away rapidly.

2. Imaging Tests-

Imaging tests are performed to diagnose appendicitis correctly and accurately. Imaging tests help to confirm Appendicitis or rule out alternative reasons for the pain of the patient. These tests include an abdomen ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.

• Abdominal Ultrasound - Abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of your interior organs.

• CT Scan - Images are created using a combination of x-rays and computer technology. A CT scan permits imaging of nearly every part of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as plan medical, surgical, or radiation therapy. It shows a Sensitivity of ~94% and a specificity of ~95% for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging – MRI is used to diagnose Appendicitis in pregnant women as CT scan affects infants. MRI is a safer and alternative diagnostic method than a CT scan. 

Diagnostic procedures are typically performed in public or commercial laboratories with the necessary, often expensive equipment. The market for Appendicitis Disease is quite competitive and many global companies are providing their inputs in developing goods.

Appendicitis Treatment Analysis –

“Decoding New Advancement in Appendicitis Treatment Domain”

The standard treatment for Appendicitis includes antibiotics and surgery. In very few cases antibiotics help to recover the patients. Appendicitis is considered an emergency disease which is why it is treated in the emergency ward.

1. Antibiotics -

   Antibiotics are the standard treatment and preventive measure for Appendicitis. During the mild and very early cases of Appendicitis, physicians recommend the medications as antibiotics. The patients having risk for surgery are treated with antibiotics initially. However, the clinician prefers to remove the appendix by surgery because recurrent Appendicitis develops in the patient if they don’t remove the appendix.

2. Surgery - 

   Appendectomy is one of the most frequently carried out surgical operations around the world for the treatment of Appendicitis. Within 24hr of diagnosis surgeons generally schedule the appendectomy as after 36hr the appendix gets ruptured. The ruptured appendix results in peritonitis which is a life-threatening symptom. 

According to the NIH, appendectomy is a generally safe technique that acts as the ultimate therapy for appendicitis, with a mortality rate ranging from 0.09% to 0.24%. Appendectomy is performed in two types based on the severity of Appendicitis. The following are the two types of appendectomy-

• Laparoscopic Appendectomy - Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure using a laparoscope as incisions are tiny and organs are not exposed during this surgery. A small wound reduces the risk of infections, hemorrhaging, and postoperative problems such as wound rupture and incisional hernia. Laparoscopic surgery results in fewer side effects and less complications. The conversion rate of laparoscopic to open appendectomy ranges from 0% to 27% as stated by NIH.

Furthermore, according to the Cleveland Clinic, about 13 million laparoscopic operations are performed worldwide each year. These figures are expected to rise by 1% during the following five years.

• Open Appendectomy –Open appendectomy is also known as laparotomy. It helps the physician to treat as well as diagnose appendicitis. Laparotomy is used to explore the peritoneal cavity of a patient to investigate the problems and treat them. Laparotomy involves the removal of the appendix by a single big incision in the lower right portion of the abdomen. The laparotomy incision is typically 2 to 3 inches long.  

The risk factors for laparotomy include injury to nearby organs, prolonged bleeding caused by damaged blood vessels, delayed healing hernias at the location where the muscle divides, and Internal scar tissue that may cause organ interference.

Industry players have various opportunities in the treatment field of Appendicitis. Development of various cost-efficient treatment products, and redevelopment of existing therapies by using new technologies and innovations in laparotomy products to improve patient health while expanding the business are the domains where key players enter and generate tremendous revenue.
