Variable: The immediate complication rate is much higher for a rutured appendix and there is a small mortality rate associated with it.

Fertility may be decreased in some women after appendiceal rupture and peritonitis and bowel obstruction may be slightly more common in both sexes, but most patients do well in the long run.
