Key result
Patients with aortic aneurysm disease had a higher rate of ICU stays >24 hours (62% vs 45%, P<0.001) and 1-year mortality (8% vs 4.7%, P=0.04) compared to those with aortic occlusive disease.
Why the study?
Does aortic aneurysm disease compared to aortic occlusive disease increase postoperative organ dysfunction and ICU resource utilization in patients undergoing open elective abdominal aortic surgery?
Population
1,293 patients scheduled for primary open elective, aortoiliac bypass or aortofemoral bypass procedures or…

Aortic aneurysm disease may increase postoperative ICU needs and mortality risk; observational data leaves open causal inference and practice implications.

Does aortic aneurysm disease compared to aortic occlusive disease increase postoperative organ dysfunction and ICU resource utilization in patients undergoing open elective abdominal aortic surgery?
Absolute Event Rate: 62% vs 45%
p-value: p=<0.001
Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms are at higher risk of postoperative organ dysfunction and require more ICU resources than those with occlusive disease after elective open surgery.
Bisgaard et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Aortic aneurysm and aortic occlusive diseases (n=1,293). Aortic aneurysm disease vs. Aortic occlusive disease was evaluated on ICU stay more than 24 h (p=<0.001). Patients with aortic aneurysm disease had a higher rate of ICU stays >24 hours (62% vs 45%, P<0.001) and 1-year mortality (8% vs 4.7%, P=0.04) compared to those with aortic occlusive disease.
