Characterization of immediate and early mortality after repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We sought to compare immediate and early mortality among patients undergoing ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) repair. Evaluation of RAAA has focused on 30-day postoperative mortality. Other emergency conditions such as trauma have demonstrated a multimodal mortality distribution within the 30-day window, expanding the pathophysiologic understanding and allowing for intervention investigations with practice changing and lifesaving results. However, the temporal distribution and risk factors of postoperative morbidity and mortality in RAAA have yet to be investigated.

Methods

We evaluated factors associated with RAAA postoperative mortality in immediate (<1 day) and early (1-30 days) postoperative periods in a landmarked retrospective cohort study using dat
