Key result
The Glasgow Aneurysm Score strongly predicted postoperative death after ruptured AAA repair, with a mortality rate of 65.0% for scores >84 versus 28.2% for scores ≤84 (P<0.001).

The Glasgow Aneurysm Score effectively predicts postoperative mortality in patients undergoing surgical repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms, with a score >84 indicating significantly higher risk.
Korhonen et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=836). Glasgow Aneurysm Score >84 vs. Glasgow Aneurysm Score ≤84 was evaluated on postoperative death (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.54-2.12, p=<0.001). The Glasgow Aneurysm Score strongly predicted postoperative death after ruptured AAA repair, with a mortality rate of 65.0% for scores >84 versus 28.2% for scores ≤84 (P<0.001).
