IA: incidental appendectomy; NHF: normal histologic findings; APA: acute phlegmonous appendicitis; AGA: acute gangrenous appendicitis. Results presented as median (Q1-Q3) for continuous nonparametric variables or number (valid percentage) of subjects for categorical variables. LR: indicating the corresponding value was obtained using a linear regression. LgR: indicating the corresponding value was obtained using a logistic regression.
