Predictors of Postoperative Mortality of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Retrospective Clinical Study

Abstract: PurposeDespite significant improvements in surgery, anesthesia, and postoperative critical care, the postoperative mortality rate of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) has remained at 40% to 50% for several decades. Therefore, we evaluated factors associated with the postoperative mortality of RAAA.Materials and MethodsFrom January 1999 to December 2008, a retrospective study was performed with 34 patients who underwent open repair of RAAA. The preoperative factors included age, sex, smoking, comorbidit… Show more

“…Measuring and reporting surgical mortality outcomes at 2-day, 16,17 7-day, [18][19][20] 30-day, 21 in-hospital, 22 in-hospital or 30-day, 23 and 60-and 90-day 24 intervals have been used to reflect the quality of care provided. The World Health Organization Safe Surgery Saves Lives initiative has adopted perioperative mortality as a quality-of-care estimate, 25 and a recently published Commission on Global Surgery report 26 in The Lancet settled on inpatient mortality statistics for tracking sur-gical outcomes.…”

“…These findings are in line with those reported in the current literature. Indeed, several studies underlined that total blood loss and intraoperative hypotension are significant predictors of death [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. In our analysis, we considered hemoperitoneum as an indirect and non-numeric measure of blood loss, but it is intraoperatively objectifiable.…”

“…The development of AKI is known to affect postoperative morbidity, mortality, and length of stay in patients undergoing AAA surgery [ 12 , 24 , 25 ]. Patients requiring RRT after AAA surgery have a high mortality rate [ 26 , 27 ]. Additionally, postoperative AKI not requiring RRT also increases the risk of postoperative mortality in patients undergoing open AAA repair [ 28 ].…”
