Characteristics of acute appendicitis patients were the majority in the age group 17-25 years (46.9%), male (63.3%), Alvarado score group 7-10 (55.1%) and surgical findings of perforation (65, 3%). Based on bivariate analysis, p = 0.019 (p<0.05) was obtained, which means there was a significant relationship between the Alvarado score and the surgical findings of acute appendicitis patients at RSUD Dr. H.
