Usefulness of the Hardman index in predicting outcome after endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

Abstract

The Hardman index, with or without incorporating ECG ischemia, seems to be a simple and useful predictive tool in patients undergoing endovascular repair of RAAA, with the mortality rate increasing along with the Hardman score. However, the index cannot be used to accurately identify patients with no chance of survival after endovascular repair.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

“…Died of hemorrhage due to uncorrectable coagulopathy. Karkos 31 1 Midline laparotomy (day 2). Died of MOF and sepsis (day 28).…”

Outcome of Patients with Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

“…However, prediction of patient outcome has been a topic of debate for several years now (7)(8)(9)(10). In this study we show that the Hardman Index has predictive value regarding the outcome of patients with a RAAA.…”

Comparación de modelos de riesgo para reparación endovascular y abierta por rotura de aneurisma aórtico abdominal

“…El estudio de Karkos et al 36 analiza la utilidad del índice Hardmann en 41 pacientes con REVAR y concluye con que no resulta un modelo efectivo para la identificación de los pacientes que podrían sobrevivir tras el tratamiento endovascular.…”
