Human cost should not be dismissed {#article-title-2} EDITOR—Greenhalgh and Powell's editorial assesses the economic evaluation of the multicentre aneurysm screening study (MASS), but it masks with numbers a human tragedy at the core of the story: this is a screening study that killed people...
Aortic aneurysms grow silently, most commonly without signs or symptoms. Rupture leads to death unless the aortic aneurysm is discovered and repaired,
Selective screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms with physical examination and ultrasound. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an important cause of preventable death in older persons. Persistently high rupture mortality rates indicate that these ... F A,Lederle,J M,... - 《Archives of Internal ...
The maneuver for detection: An ultrasound examination of the abdominal aorta will detect an abdominal aortic aneurysm in essentially 100% of cases.3,4 This study is easy to perform, noninvasive, and relatively inexpensive.3 In contrast, 67 of 218 proved Full Text Download...
