Worked Example: Clinical / Physiology Scenario: Alvarado Appendicitis Score
Tally the 10-point MANTRELS Alvarado score to stratify appendicitis probability.
- Enter lab values, anthropometric measurements, or performance test metrics.
- Evaluate the reference equation: Alvarado = Symptoms (Migration 1 + Anorexia 1 + Nausea 1) + Signs (RLQ Tenderness 2 + Rebound 1 + Temp 1) + Labs (WBC>10k 2 + LeftShift 1).
- Inspect the primary classification, supporting indices, and 3 SVG charts.
Result: Computes Alvarado Appendicitis Score via Alvarado = Symptoms (Migration 1 + Anorexia 1 + Nausea 1) + Signs (RLQ Tenderness 2 + Rebound 1 + Temp 1) + Labs (WBC>10k 2 + LeftShift 1).

Alvarado Score (MANTRELS 0–10) for Acute Appendicitis Probability Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Tally the 10-point MANTRELS Alvarado score to stratify appendicitis probability.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Symptom Points Max3: Symptoms sum (Migration to RLQ [1] + Anorexia [1] + Nausea/Vomiting [1], max 3).
- Sign Points Max4: Signs sum (RLQ Tenderness [2] + Rebound pain [1] + Temp ≥37.3°C [1], max 4).
- Lab Points Max3: Lab sum (Leukocytosis WBC >10,000/μL [2] + Neutrophil left shift >75% [1], max 3).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Alvarado (MANTRELS) Score is 7 points (0–10). The calculation follows Alvarado Appendicitis Score Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Symptom Points Max3 from 2 pts (0–3) to 2.2 pts (0–3) changes Alvarado (MANTRELS) Score from 7 points (0–10) to 7.2 points (0–10). This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses peer-reviewed clinical and sports physiology formulas.
- For educational and informational reference only; clinical scores do not replace physician judgment or laboratory reference ranges.
Scope: Global Clinical & Sports Science Consensus Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
