Systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in Asian populations

Wai Kiu Chan et al.

Summary: The prevalence of AAAs in the general Asian population is low, but approaches Western levels in Asian populations selected for cardiovascular risk factors. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potential benefits of screening for AAAs in carefully selected Asian populations.

The Content of Pre-habilitative Interventions for Patients Undergoing Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms and Their Effect on Post-Operative Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Rory J. Bonner et al.

Summary: Currently, there is limited clinical evidence to draw robust conclusions about the effect of pre-habilitation on post-operative outcomes following AAA repair. Further well-designed randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to establish the clinical and cost effectiveness of pre-habilitation interventions.

Towards a Core Outcome Set for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Systematic Review of Outcomes Reported Following Intact and Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Matthew Machin et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify the range, frequency, and time of pre-specified outcomes reported following infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The research found that most studies were retrospective and revealed a lack of long-term data.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Sex Specific Differences in Adverse Events After Open and Endovascular Intact Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Consistently Worse Outcomes for Women

Anna L. Pouncey et al.

Summary: Recent practice has not improved the higher mortality rate for women following AAA repair. Women tend to have higher incidences of transfusion, pulmonary, and bowel complications post-operatively. The increased mortality risk for EVAR may be attributed to factors such as cardiac complications.

Population-Based Risk Factors for Ascending, Arch, Descending, and Abdominal Aortic Dilations for 60-74-Year-Old Individuals

Lasse M. Obel et al.

Summary: Aortic dilations may occur on any segment of the aorta, with varying pathogenesis and risk factors. This study found that the presence of coexisting aortic dilations is the most dominant predictor for dilations at any aortic segment.
