Abdominal Compartment Syndrome; Can Big Data Provide the Answers?

In this study Esryd and colleagues identified risk factors associated with the development of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).1 Patients treated by EVAR for rAAA between 2008 and 2015 were identified in the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc) and patients that developed ACS were compared with matched controls that did not. After multivariable logistic regression multiple red blood cell transfusions remained the sole statistically significant risk factor for the development of ACS.
