Impact of vascular surgery on community mortality from ruptured aortic aneurysms.

摘要: The workload of aortic surgery in a district increased fourfold over 10 years as the incidence aneurysm rupture rose from 7 to 17/100 000. Of 260 patients with ruptured aneurysms 101 reached hospital alive (38 per cent) which 52 (52 survived, an overall survival rate 19.8 cent. Despite increasing experience, mortality after emergency did not improve, suggesting outcome was largely determined by patient's condition and age. Only 5 90 aged 75 survived at home. In consequence community improve period studied.
