Key result
Age, admission hypotension, aneurysmal rupture, pre-operative CPR, and intra-operative blood loss were identified as risk factors for death up to 100 days after emergency AAA repair.
Why the study?
What are the predictive factors for mortality in patients undergoing emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Observational (n=135)
What are the predictive factors for mortality in patients undergoing emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
A simplified risk score based on acute clinical and intra-operative factors can predict the likelihood of survival in patients undergoing emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

May aid risk stratification in emergency AAA repair; leaves open validation of derived scores before clinical use.
Urwin et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Emergency abdominal aneurysm repair (n=135). Risk factors (age, hypotension, rupture, CPR, blood loss) was evaluated on Mortality in the operating theatre and intensive care, and at 28 and 100 days. Age, admission hypotension, aneurysmal rupture, pre-operative CPR, and intra-operative blood loss were identified as risk factors for death up to 100 days after emergency AAA repair.
