Brief Summary

As we know, one of the most common reasons for people to visit health centers and hospitals (15%) is abdominal pain, and appendicitis is at the top of their diagnosis in the 2-4th decade of age, which in most cases For treatment, considering the patient's condition and the need for surgery, appendectomy is the first method. One of the things that helps us a lot in this area is the epidemiology and incidence of this disease in the target society, which sometimes varies in different regions. One of the things that can be checked in this disease is the age and gender of the person and its incidence in different age ranges.
