Acute appendicitis is a condition where the appendix, a small part in the belly, gets swollen and causes strong stomach pain. The most common way to treat acute appendicitis is through a surgery called appendectomy, which is more commonly used than antibiotics. According to a survey by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2016, around 378,614 people in North America had acute appendicitis. This condition was also found in Eastern Europe and Western Europe, where approximately 105 people in Eastern Europe and 151 people in Western Europe were dealing with acute appendicitis in 2016. The number of cases was significant in the US as well, with about 250,000 reported cases each year in 2016. Acute appendicitis usually affects people between the ages of 5 and 45, and it's more common in males than females, with 8.6% of males and 6.7% of females globally facing this issue. Another survey in 2019 by NCBI showed that around 300,000 patients in the US visit hospitals every year for appendicitis-related problems. The increase in acute appendicitis cases is linked to environmental factors like short-term exposure to air pollution and people's dietary habits. This condition is also becoming more prevalent in children, with approximately 3.11 cases per 1000 children aged 14 and below, as reported by a research article in the Academic Journal of Pediatrics & Neonatology in 2017. The growing number of acute appendicitis cases worldwide is leading to a higher demand for appendectomy surgeries, showing a significant increase in the number of cases compared to previous years.
