Key result
A correct initial diagnosis was missed in 39% of type-A and 22.4% of type-B acute aortic dissection patients, often due to a wide variety of clinical presentations mimicking other diseases.

Absolute Event Rate: 39% vs 22.4%
The diverse clinical presentation of acute aortic dissection, including sudden collapse without pain in Type A, frequently leads to initial diagnostic challenges.
High missed diagnosis rates in type A aortic dissection warrant clinical awareness of atypical presentations; leaves open optimal strategies for earlier detection.
