Sex Related Differences in Peri-operative Mortality after Elective Repair of an Asymptomatic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in the Netherlands: a Retrospective Analysis of 2013 to 2018.

CONCLUSIONS: Peri-operative mortality after elective repair of an asymptomatic AAA in the Netherlands is higher in women than in men. This disparity might be explained by the higher peri-operative mortality in women undergoing OSR, because no such difference was found in patients undergoing EVAR. Yet, it is likely that there are unaccounted factors at play since female sex remained significantly associated with mortality after adjusting for type of repair.
