Application of a Composite Score to Predict Adnexal Torsion in Premenarchal and Menarchal Children and Adolescents

In brief

This validation study tests a composite scoring system designed to predict adnexal torsion in premenarchal and menarchal patients. The research aims to refine diagnostic accuracy for this time-sensitive gynecologic emergency in pediatric and adolescent populations.

• Composite scoring systems can improve diagnostic accuracy for adnexal torsion in pediatric and adolescent populations.
• Validation in larger, heterogeneous cohorts is essential to confirm clinical utility of predictive models.
• Refined scoring tools may reduce diagnostic delays and unnecessary surgical interventions in suspected torsion cases.
