Age-specific incidence, risk factors and outcome of acute abdominal aortic aneurysms in a defined population
BACKGROUND Contemporary population-based data on age-specific incidence and outcome from acute abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) events are needed to understand the impact of risk factor modification and demographic change, and to inform AAA screening policy. METHODS In a prospective population-based study (Oxfordshire, UK, 2002-2014), event rates, incidence, early case fatality and long-term o...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Background—Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an asymptomatic condition with a high mortality rate related to rupture. Methods and Results—In a cohort of 2035 men and 2310 women in Tromsø, Norway, who were 25 to 82 years old in 1994, the authors identified risk factors for incident abdominal aortic aneurysm over the next 7 years. The impact of smoking was studied in particular. Ultrasound examination...
متن کاملPopulation-Based Study of Incidence of Acute Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms With Projected Impact of Screening Strategy
BACKGROUND Current abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening in men age 65 might have limited impact on overall AAA death rates if incidence is moving to older ages. Up-to-date population-based studies of age-specific incidence, risk factors, and outcome of acute AAA are needed to inform screening policy. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective, population-based study (Oxfordshire, UK, 2002-2014...
متن کاملIncidence and outcome of multiple intracranial aneurysms in a defined population.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Proportions of patients with single and multiple aneurysms among patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are not well established. We evaluated these proportions and the differences in outcome between SAH patients with a single aneurysm and those with multiple aneurysms in a defined population. METHODS Between 1989 and 1998, 2037 patients (age, 20 to 89 ye...
متن کاملAcute (non-ruptured) abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) can present electively or acutely. The type of presentation influences operative mortality. That following elective repair is approximately 5%. 1 However, this group of patients can be subdivided into those presenting with and those without symptoms, the former tending to have greater risk of death following repair. 2 AAA presenting acutely may or may not be rup...
