Significance of Tomography and CRP in Abdominal Pain Management
Purpose: We evaluated whether abdominal tomography is necessary for patients who have been admitted to the emergency service because of non traumatic abdominal pain and effect of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and tomography to the patient management.

| description | Purpose: We evaluated whether abdominal tomography is necessary for patients who have been admitted to the emergency service because of non traumatic abdominal pain and effect of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and tomography to the patient management.
Materials and Method: On retrospective study, we recorded demographic data, tomography diagnoses, CRP and leucocyte values operation and following decisions of 199 patient who were 18 years old and over and were admitted to emergency service because of abdominal pain and were scanned abdominal tomography. 104 patient were hospitalized and their CRP values, tomography diagnoses, end of operation diagnoses were recorded from patient files. The statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and the diagnostic value was assessed through the logistic regression test.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was observed between anormal tomography findings and high CRP and leukocyte values of the 199 patients included in the study. The tomography findings and CRP values were found to be efficient in discharge and hospitalization rates. When tomography finding and CRP value were combined, the operation decision was effected.
Conclusion: Based on our study; in the event of abdominal pain, CRP can predict abnormal tomography finding and it is more valuable than leucocyte. When tomography was used with CRP, it affects the operation decision. [Cukurova Med J 2015; 40(4.000): 766-773] |
