Summary

The value of the axillorectal temperature difference in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was estimated with the aid of statistical methods. The axillorectal temperature difference turned out to be of very low discriminant ability between acute appendicitis and non-acute conditions.

Zusammenfassung

Die Bedeutung der axillorectalen Temperaturdifferenz bei der Diagnostik der akuten Appendicitis wurde mit statistischer Methodik untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die axillorectale Temperaturdifferenz nur in sehr geringem Maß zwischen akuten und nicht akuten Befunden unterscheiden kann.
