✦ Synopsis

However, the authors have inadvertently overstated their case. If their graph is to be believed, the incidence of acute appendicitis between the ears 1971 and 1975 fell by almost 50 per cent, till there were onry 13 OOO cases a year in all of England and Wales. In fact, their figures refer to what the Hospital Inpatient Enquiry calls 'unqualified' appendicitis. Acute appendicitis showed no significant change during that period at a l L 5 8 130 cases in 1971 and 61 650 in 1975.
