The feasibility of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms in a district general hospital.

T J O'Kelly1, B P Heather.   

Abstract

The feasibility of a screening programme for abdominal aortic aneurysms within a district general hospital population is explored, based on our current accepted knowledge of the natural history of this disease process. It is shown that ultrasound screening of males aged between 65 and 74 years, with elective repair of the aneurysms discovered, could save up to 20 lives per year in this district at a reasonable and justifiable cost. Moreover, such a programme would not place an unacceptable burden on existing radiological and surgical facilities.
