Summary

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) mortality remains high, with incidence projected to increase 49.6% in the next two decades. A significant portion of women experienced RAAA with diameters below the elective surgery threshold.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Despite advances, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) mortality rates are rising.
  • Elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) operations are increasing.
  • RAAA management and prevention require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence, treatment, and mortality of RAAA in the Pirkanmaa region.
  • To analyze prerupture patient history for potential rupture prevention strategies.
  • To forecast future RAAA trends over the next decades.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized population and outcome data from Statistics Finland (1990-1997).
  • Reviewed local vascular registry for operated RAAA cases (1990-1999).

  • Calculated RAAA incidence by age group for future projections.

    • Main Results:

    • RAAA incidence was 6.3/100,000 inhabitants, rising to 35.5/100,000 in those over 65.
    • Overall RAAA mortality was 76.9%, with 63.3% hospital mortality at Tampere University Hospital (TAUH).
    • RAAA cases are predicted to increase by 49.6% in two decades; 10.8% had a previously documented AAA, with median rupture diameter of 7 cm.

    Conclusions:

    • Pirkanmaa region's RAAA incidence mirrors the Finnish average.
    • A significant increase in RAAA cases is expected in the coming decades.
    • A notable percentage of women experienced RAAA with diameters below the current elective surgery threshold.
