My paper is about the pediatric population with uncomplicated appendicitis. Does non-surgical management with antibiotic therapy resolve recurrence or worsening symptoms when compared to appendectomy?
This assignment is to review one of the articles for realiability and validity.
Write a one paragraph overview of the following study:
Huang, L., Yin, Y., Yang, L., Wang, C., Li, Y., & Zhou, Z. (2017). Comparison of Antibiotic Therapy and Appendectomy for Acute Uncomplicated Appendicitis in Children: A Meta- analysis. JAMA pediatrics, 171(5), 426–434. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamapediatrics.2017.0057
Then, characterize it as best as you can (for example, what type of study is it? Is it (a) qualitative, (b) quantitative, or (c) mixed? Is it a prospective or retrospective study? Is it an experimental design, quasi or non- experimental?). Next, identify at least three factors inherent to this study’s design that improves reliability or validity. Thoroughly explain these characteristics in context with the study and explain why it improves reliability or validity.
***It is strongly recommended for quality of work and content that you cite and reference the weekly readings from Forister and Blessing (2020).*** (see attachment) This week it was chapters 5,6, and 7.
