Prediction of Survival After 48 Hours of Intensive Unit Care Following Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Multicentric Study for External Validation of a New Prediction Score for 30-Day Mortality

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) remains a critical life-threatening condition. We aimed to evaluate rAAA management in our centre focusing on predictors of mortality at 48 hours of intensive care unit (ICU) and to develop a new mortality prediction score considering data at 48 hours post-procedure. External validation of the modified score with patient data from independent Vascular Surgery Centres was subsequently pursued.
