Retrospective cohort study examines in-hospital mortality in female patients with aortic dissection or aneurysm, highlighting cardiovascular risks in Turner syndrome.
Background: Aortic dissection and aneurysm are major causes of early mortality in Turner syndrome. However, data on aortic dissection in Turner syndrome remain limited compared with those for Marfan syndrome. We evaluated the associations of Turner syndrome and Marfan syndrome with in-hospital mortality among female patients hospitalized for aortic dissection or aneurysm, using patients without either syndrome as the common reference group for both comparisons.
