Summary

The CODA trial is back – this time to shed light on long-term outcomes for antibiotics versus surgery for appendicitis! Dr. David Flum, lead investigator of the CODA trial, and Dr. Lillian Kao join us today to discuss the results after at least 1 year of follow-up in their patients. Read the full update here in the New England Journal of Medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2116018

Utilizing the CODA trial results, Dr. Flum has created an innovative online tool for physicians to use with patients when discussing treatment options for appendicitis.
