Summary
Serum total bilirubin provides a practical guide to early assessment of suspected appendicitis, supporting faster and more proportionate decisions-earlier escalation when overall risk is high and safe observation when it is low. Because testing is rapid, inexpensive, and universally available, integration into local diagnostic pathways is feasible.
