Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Several randomized trials showed that ultrasonographic screening for AAA could reduce the frequency of acute operations and AAA-related mortality.
However, all of randomized trials were performed in Western countries. There was no randomized trials for AAA screening in Asian countries.
This randomized, controlled trial is to analyze the benefits of screening old population for AAA in Korea.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For screening group, The anterioposterior and transverse diameter of the infrarenal aorta is measured at their maximal sizes. The subsequent surveillance of screened patients is done as follows
* Aortic diameter less than 3.0cm, no further testing
* AAA 3 to 4cm, ultrasonographic follow-up every year
* AAA 4 to 5cm, ultrasonographic follow-up every 6 months
* AAA greater than 5cm, referral to a vascular surgeon
For control group, the information for any causes of death is collected every year.
