Key result
The Glasgow Aneurysm Score (AUC 0.606; P=0.112) and the Hardman Index (P=0.211) failed to accurately predict postoperative mortality after repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Why the study?
Do the Glasgow Aneurysm Score and the Hardman Index accurately predict postoperative mortality in patients undergoing repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Population
82 patients undergoing attempted operative repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm at a single unit.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
postoperative period

These scores should not guide decisions in ruptured AAA repair; challenges prior reports and leaves open need for accurate predictors.

No
Do the Glasgow Aneurysm Score and the Hardman Index accurately predict postoperative mortality in patients undergoing repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.606 (95% CI 0.483-0.729)
p-value: p=0.112
Contrary to previous reports, the Glasgow Aneurysm Score and the Hardman Index are poor predictors of postoperative mortality after ruptured AAA repair.
Tambyraja et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=82). Glasgow Aneurysm Score and Hardman Index was evaluated on Postoperative mortality (AUC 0.606, 95% CI 0.483-0.729, p=0.112). The Glasgow Aneurysm Score (AUC 0.606; P=0.112) and the Hardman Index (P=0.211) failed to accurately predict postoperative mortality after repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
