Summary:Appendicitis is a most common abdominal condition worldwide, and appendectomy especially laparoscopic appendectomy is among the most commonly performed general surgeries. In this study, data were collected from patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy surgery at the Evangelical Hospital "Betania" in Naples, Italy. Linear multiple regression was used to obtain a simple predictor that can also assess which of the independent variables considered to be a risk factor. The model with R2 of 0.699 shows that comorbidities and complications during surgery are the main risk factors for prolonged LOS. This result is validated by other studies conducted in the same area.
