Samuel M. Pediatric appendicitis score. J Pediatr Surg. 2002;37(6):877-81. DOI: 10.1053/jpsu.2002.32893. PMID: 11877649. Scope: 10-point score (migration of pain 1, anorexia 1, nausea/vomiting 1, RLQ tenderness 2, cough/percussion/hopping tenderness in RLQ 2, pyrexia 1, leukocytosis >10,000/mL 1, polymorphonuclear neutrophilia >75% 1); the previous implementation collapsed this into six 1-point items (max 6) and merged leukocytosis+neutrophilia into one criterion, omitting the two 2-point physical-exam items.
