Abstract

Introduction: To know frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using ultrasound and clarify associated risk factors in 1000 Egyptians. Material and methods: Prospective study. 1000 patients aged 50 years or more (mean: 57.97 ± [7.68]) were examined by B-mode ultrasound at our radiology department to measure suprarenal maximum diameter of the abdominal aorta (wall to wall measurement) and to identify the occurrence of AAA (aneurysms were defined as 1.5 times the mean diameter). Demographic data and risk factors were also noted. Results: Mean aortic diameter in study population was 18.9 ± (3.2) mm. AAA diameter was 28.3 mm. Frequency of AAA was 1.5%. AAA prevalence: 2.35% in males versus 0.75% in females. Prevalence of AAA in different age groups: 70 years (n = 65) was 6 (0.9%), 6 (2.1%), 3 (4.6%) respectively. Patients with AAA were older (P < 0.001), more often male (P < 0.001), smokers (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Study showed that mean aortic diameter was 18.9 mm and AAA is present in 1.5% of the study population which was less than that seen in previously conducted studies in other countries.

在Kasr Al Ainy医院接受超声检查的患者发生腹主动脉瘤的频率：一项单中心试点研究

前言:了解1000名埃及人腹主动脉瘤(AAA)的超声频率，并阐明相关危险因素。材料与方法:前瞻性研究。1000例50岁及以上患者(平均:57.97±[7.68])在我院放射科行b超检查，测量腹主动脉肾上最大直径(壁对壁测量)，确定是否发生AAA(动脉瘤定义为平均直径的1.5倍)。还注意到人口统计数据和危险因素。结果:研究人群的平均主动脉直径为18.9±(3.2)mm, AAA直径为28.3 mm。AAA发生率为1.5%。AAA患病率:男性2.35%，女性0.75%。不同年龄组AAA患病率:70岁(n = 65)分别为6例(0.9%)、6例(2.1%)、3例(4.6%)。AAA患者年龄较大(P < 0.001)，男性多见(P < 0.001)，吸烟者多见(P < 0.001)。结论:研究表明，平均主动脉直径为18.9 mm, 1.5%的研究人群存在AAA，这一比例低于其他国家先前进行的研究。
