Association between neighborhood deprivation and presenting with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm before screening age.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Recent data indicate social determinants of health (SDOH) have a great impact on prevention and treatment outcomes across a broad variety of disease states, especially cardiovascular diseases. The area deprivation index (ADI) is a validated measure of neighborhood level disadvantage capturing key social determinate factors. Abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture (rAAA) is highly morbid, but also preventable through evidence-based screening. However, the association between rAAA and SDOH is poorly characterized. Our objective is to study the association of SDOH with rAAA and screening age.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients who underwent operative repair of a rAAA at a multihospital healthcare system (2003-2019). Deprivation was measured by the ADI (scale
