The prognostic impact of maximal aortic diameter on acute type B aortic dissection progression in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Currently, evidence concerning the link between maximal aortic diameter and in-hospital mortality in cases of acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD) is insufficient. Thus, this study aimed to explore the relationship between the maximal aortic diameter at the time of admission and the early prognosis of patients diagnosed with ATBAD. A total of 678 patients with ATBAD were included between January 2016 and December 2018, during which their clinical data was gathered. The independent variable analyzed was the maximal diameter of the aorta, while the dependent variable was mortality during hospitalization. Factors considered in this analysis included the patients' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), medical history of hypertension, stroke, diabetes, atherosclerosis, smoking habits, chronic k
