Why the study?

Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease, but epidemiological data regarding its incidence rate have been lacking in Japan.

What is the population-based incidence rate of acute aortic dissection in Japan?

Population

402 incident cases with AAD from 2014 to 2015 in Shiga Prefecture

Comparison

Stanford type A-AAD vs type B-AAD subtypes

Design

Multicenter population-based registry study

Overview

Higher AAD incidence in Japan than Western reports; extends population data but leaves open true geographic variation versus detection differences.

Structured PICO

What is the population-based incidence rate of acute aortic dissection in Japan?

P
Population
402 incident cases of acute aortic dissection (AAD) from a general population of 1.4 million people in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, between 2014 and 2015.
O
Outcome
Incidence rate of acute aortic dissection (AAD)hard clinical

The incidence rate of acute aortic dissection in Japan appears to be higher than in Western countries, with type A-AAD cases being older and predominantly female.
