Incidence, presentation and outcome of acute aortic dissection: results from a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the incidence of acute aortic dissection in a clearly defined population, to assess onset symptoms and admission biochemical marker levels and to analyse variables potentially associated to mortality.

Methods

Medical records and CT angiograms of all patients hospitalised for acute aortic dissection in the Stockholm County during the 5-year period 2012-2016 were reviewed. The patients were followed until date of death or until 31 December 2020. The annual incidence was determined. Associations between clinical and biochemical variables and 30-day mortality, respectively, were analysed using multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

A total of 344 patients were included. The mean annual incidence of acute aortic dissection was 4.1 per 100
