門診管理發現絕大多數的患者中被證明是安全的，並且在所有研究地點有高達 90% 的患者以抗生素治療。與住院(開刀)相比，門診管理發現與隨後的闌尾切除術無關，患者錯過的工作日更少。

這項研究是對抗生素藥物和闌尾切除術結果比較 (CODA) 試驗結果的持續分析，該試驗發現抗生素治療不亞於緊急闌尾切除術。試驗結束後，美國外科學院表示，高品質的證據證實大多數患者可以接受抗生素治療。

研究人員檢查了 2016 年 5 月 1 日至 2020 年 2 月 28 日期間在 25 家醫院接受抗生素治療的 726 名影像學確診闌尾炎患者的數據。

闌尾炎的門診管理對許多人來說是安全的，並且可以減少醫療保健的使用和成本。
