Pediatric Appendicitis Data with Ultrasound Images and Clinical Scores from Regensburg

A retrospective cohort of pediatric patients admitted with abdominal pain to Children's Hospital St. Hedwig in Regensburg, Germany. The dataset includes multiple abdominal B-mode ultrasound images per patient, alongside laboratory tests, physical exams, clinical scores, and expert ultrasonographic findings. Subjects are labeled with three target variables: diagnosis, management, and severity.

Use Cases

• Diagnostic classification of appendicitis based on ultrasound images and clinical scores.
• Predicting surgical versus conservative management based on patient features and expert findings.
• Severity assessment for appendicitis cases using multimodal clinical data.
• Comparative analysis of clinical scoring systems like Alvarado and pediatric appendicitis scores.

Strengths

• Includes multiple ultrasound images per patient, with up to 15 views.
