Key result
Among high-risk male patients screened for abdominal aortic aneurysm, the prevalence of lung cancer was 18.0% in those with AAA, and mortality was highest in patients with lung cancer (40.0%).
Why the study?
Lung diseases are common in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, prompting evaluation of the prevalence of lung cancer in high-risk patients screened for AAA.
Design

Lung cancer prevalence and mortality are high among AAA patients; hypothesis-generating for combined screening evaluation.
Cohort (n=601)
Patients with a high cardiovascular risk profile screened for AAA have a high coprevalence of lung cancer, which significantly drives mortality in this population.
Hohneck et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Lung Cancer (n=601). Abdominal aortic aneurysm vs. Patients without abdominal aortic aneurysm was evaluated on Prevalence of lung cancer and mortality. Among high-risk male patients screened for abdominal aortic aneurysm, the prevalence of lung cancer was 18.0% in those with AAA, and mortality was highest in patients with lung cancer (40.0%).
