Adults undergoing appendectomy after contrast\u2010enhanced computed tomography were included. Complicated appendicitis was the primary outcome. Atema 2015, the Appendicitis Severity Index and Mori 2024 were prespecified for formal external validation. Because the pain score was unavailable, SAS 2.0 was not formally validated; instead, a modified SAS 2.0 using a surrogate abdominal examination variable was explored. Discrimination was assessed with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and threshold metrics at cut\u2010offs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The cohort comprised 496 adults; 200 (40.3%) had complicated appendicitis. Mori 2024 showed the highest discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.783, 95% confidence interval: 0.741\u20130.826), followed by Atema 2015 (0.760, 0.715\u20130.804) and the Appendicitis Severity Index (0.731, 0.686\u20130.776).
