Abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound screening in men with risk factors in Primary Care
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of aneurysms in our sample was 2.6%, which was lower than expected. The wide use of ultrasound and its progressive generalisation in the Primary Care setting should lead to a decrease in the number of undiagnosed AAA.PMID:34920344 | DOI:10.1016/j.aprim.2021.102234

Prevalence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in the General Population and in Subgroups at High Cardiovascular Risk in Italy. Results of the RoCAV Population Based Study.
CONCLUSIONS: In the study population, both a general screening program in 65-75 year old men and an approach targeted to subgroups at higher risk merit evaluation in a cost-effectiveness study. In 50-64 year old men, strategies for population selection should consider CVD risk stratification tools. PMID: 29506942 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevalence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Men Aged 65-74 Years in a Metropolitan Area in North-East Spain.
CONCLUSIONS: The current screening prevalence of AAA among men aged 65-74 years in a metropolitan area in north-east Spain is similar to that in northern Europe. Smoking, myocardial infarction, and height were associated with the presence of AAA. PMID: 27252078 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Trends in abdominal aortic aneurysm prevalence and mortality in non-European countries
After 3 decades of epidemiologic research on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), prevalence and mortality rates from AAA in England and Scandinavian countries have been shown to be decreasing , raising the question about what the trends of prevalence and mortality rates from AAA in non-European countries are. With that aim, we conducted a literature search for observational studies and randomized controlled trials that assessed prevalence and mortality rates in non-European populations published since January 1983 till June 2013 in MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS electronic databases. The search strategy was [abdominal aortic aneu...
