Abstract:
:The 10-year experience of a single community was reviewed and a multivariate analysis was performed to determine the relative importance of clinical and environmental factors in mortality after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm resection. Ruptured aneurysms were repaired in 243 patients in six area hospitals (one university, five community) by 25 surgeons (16 vascular, 9 general). Overall, 30-day mortality was 55% (133/243). Although the mortality by hospital ranged from 44% to 68%, these differences were not statistically significant. However, significant variations occurred in the mortality rates of individual surgeons, ranging from 44% to 73%. The mortality rate for the vascular surgeons was less than that of the general surgeons, 51% versus 69% (p less than 0.05). Clinical factors were evaluated, and the most significant parameters were systolic blood pressure, presence of chronic obstructive lung disease, and history of chronic renal insufficiency. These results support the implication that the degree of specialization of the surgeon and the preexisting health of the patient are the most important determinants of survival after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The size and sophistication of the hospital appear to be less influential factors.
