Sex- and Age-specific Outcomes After Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

In this nationwide linked audit-registry analysis, outcomes after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair improved substantially, despite lower estimated in-hospital turndown rates than in earlier eras.

The higher early mortality in women reflected by differences in age, presentation severity, and repair type, possibly reflecting less favorable aneurysm anatomy.

Female sex also associated with an increased long-term excess mortality and greater postdischarge dependency.
