| Presentation of the expected outcome: Quantitatively assess plasma LRG1 levels. Presentation of the method used to verify the expected outcome: ELISA. Presentation of the parameters (ng / ml) used to verify whether the outcome actually occurred: We will quantify the plasma LRG1 concentration (in ng / ml) in patients with and without the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. We expect to see a difference of 53 ng / ml in the group without appendicitis to 95 ng / ml for the group with appendicitis, having a 95% power and an alpha error of 1% | — |
