Name
Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) Score
Description
Tool to assist the diagnosis and prediction of severity of suspected acute appendicitis.
Keywords
AIR Score appendicitis inflammatory response score appendicitis surgery
Purpose
To assist the diagnosis and prediction of severity of suspected acute appendicitis.
Use
Use to assist the diagnosis and prediction of severity of suspected acute appendicitis.

AIR is an acronym for Appendicitis Inflammatory Response and consists of seven components, each contributing points to the total score generating an estimated probability as well as a recommendation based on the risk level;
- Vomiting 0-1
- Pain in right inferior fossa 0-1
- Rebound tenderness or muscular defense 0-3
- Body temperature ≥38.5 0-1
- Neutrophils 0-2
- White blood cell count 0-2
- CRP 0-2

The tool has a maximum score of 12 points, and the result is associated with one of three categories estimating probability along with a recommendation on appropriate action;
Sum 0-4 - low probability. Consider outpatient follow-up if unaltered general condition.
Sum 5-8 - indeterminate group. Consider in-hospital active observation with rescoring and/or further examination in accordance with local tradition.
Sum 9-12 - high probability. Consider surgical exploration.

AIR är en akronym för Appendicitis Inflammatory Response och består av sju faktorer som vardera bidrar till totala poängen (max.12) enligt; 
- Förekomst av kräkning 0-1
- Smärta i höger fossa 0-1
- Släppömhet eller muskelförsvar 0-3
- Kroppstemperatur ≥38,5 0-1
- Leukocyter 0-2
- Andel neutrofiler 0-2 
- CRP 0-2

Resultatet används för att generera en uppskattad sannolikhet för att appendicit föreligger, samt en rekommendation kring vidare åtgärd: 
0-4 poäng - låg sannolikhet. Överväg uppföljning polikliniskt om opåverkat allmäntillstånd.
5-8 poäng - intermediär sannolikhet. Överväg aktiv observation med upprepad bedömning och/eller vidare undersökning i enlighet med lokal tradition.
9-12 poäng - hög sannolikhet. Överväg kirurgisk exploration.
