The Alvarado Score for Acute Appendicitis predicts likelihood of appendicitis diagnosis.

Alvarado scoring has largely been superseded as a clinical prediction tool by the Appendicitis Inflammatory Response score. [2] [3] [4] Also known by the mnemonic MANTRELS, the scale has 6 clinical items (3 signs and 3 symptoms) and 2 laboratory measurements, each given an additive point score, with a maximum of 10 points possible.

Alvarado mnemonic: MANTRELS or MAFLTRN (my appendix feels likely to rupture now). The numerical Alvarado score evaluates the possibility of an acute appendicitis. There are two interpretations that vary the cut off value that rules out appendicitis. Scores < 4 with a sensitivity of 96%; Score < 7 with a sensitivity of 58-88%.

The Alvarado score, also known as MANTRELS (Migration, Anorexia-acetone, Nausea-vomiting, Tenderness in right lower quadrant, Rebound pain, Elevation of temperature, Leukocytosis, Shift to the left), is a 10-point clinical scoring system for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis based on clinical signs and symptoms in patients presenting with ...
