Overview

Identifying risk factors that predict the likelihood of complications of appendicitis is a crucial step in managing appendicular abscess. Appendicitis is most common risk factor of developing abscess; it is more common among people in the age group of 10 to 30 years old. Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires proper attention, especially more than any other abdominal causes if symptoms are not conclusive.

Risk Factors

Appendicitis is the major preinciting event that results in abscess if left untreated. Common risk factors for adults include:[1][2]

  • Diabetes
  • A family history of appendicitis increases the child's risk, especially in males
  • Male children with cystic fibrosis
