We describe the socioeconomic characteristics of appendicitis over the study period. Materials and Methods: Two hundred patients who were admitted between the 1st of January and the 31 of December 2021 were included. Investigated were the demographic traits and environmental elements. We contrasted the effects of the environment with those seen in other nations. Results: Our finding refers to the higher percentage 33.5% of them were in the age groups 21 and 30 years old; followed by 24.5% in the groups 11 and 20 years old. Male cases 66% were more than female cases 34%. 28.5% of them had primary education. The higher percentage 26.9% of cases occurred during winter season, there was no statistically significant difference between males (25.5±14.9 years) and females (25.3±15.1 years) (p = 0.29). Conclusion: In every instance, pain predominated over other symptoms, which included anorexia, nausea/vomiting, burning urination and bowel problems like diarrhea and constipation. Tenderness was the clinical symptom that was noted the most frequently, followed by guarding, rebound tenderness, the rovsing sign and the psoas test. There was a statistically significant correlation between the mean age and the length of the hospital stay at a p-value less than 0.05.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
