Follow-up Compliance is Not Contingent on Insurance Provider, Race, Socioeconomic Status, or Patient Comorbidities in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surveillance

Abstract

Cochran-Armitage test showed a linear trend toward increased 30-day mortality among the increasing ESS quartiles (P < .0005), with quartile 4 (ESS >10) having seven times the odds of increased 30-day mortality compared with the reference quartile 1 (ESS <4; Table ). The correlation between an increasing ESS and observed 30-day mortality is displayed in the Fig.Conclusions: We found ESS to be an accurate predictor of the outcomes in the rAAA population. These results demonstrated that ESS has utility outside of the standard emergency general surgery population and could be useful for preoperative risk stratification and postoperative discharge planning and could have the potential for use for national benchmarking after urgent endovascular aneurysm repair.
