Aortic dissection has an incidence of 3.47 per 100,000 in New South Wales, increasing exponentially with age, and carries a high 30-day mortality rate of 35.53%.
Dinh et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Aortic dissection (n=273). Aortic dissection was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Among patients presenting to emergency departments in New South Wales, the incidence of aortic dissection was 3.47 per 100,000 with a 30-day mortality rate of 35.53%.
