Key result
Female sex was independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality after intact abdominal aortic aneurysm repair compared to male sex (adjusted RR 1.20; 95% CI 1.07-1.35).

Women and older patients face higher AAA repair mortality risk; leaves open whether sex- and age-specific thresholds warrant practice changes.

Does female sex increase the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing intact abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Relative Risk: 1.2 (95% CI 1.07–1.35)
Absolute Event Rate: 5% vs 3.1%
Female sex and older age are independent risk factors for higher in-hospital mortality following intact abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Trenner et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Intact (non-ruptured) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (n=84,631). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on in-hospital mortality (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.35). Female sex was independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality after intact abdominal aortic aneurysm repair compared to male sex (adjusted RR 1.20; 95% CI 1.07-1.35).
