Primary Care.
656 patients were screened, representing 40% of the target population of 1,658 patients. The remaining part of the target population could not be screened because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 608 ultrasound examinations were performed.
coverage of the screening programme, prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms, prevalence of smoking and other risk factors in patients with/without aneurysms.
19 patients with ectatic aorta (25-29mm) and 11 with abdominal aortic aneurysms (1.81%) were found. 5 were active smokers (45%, compared to 20% in the entire sample) and 6 were former smokers. None of the aneurysm patients were non-smokers. 7 of them were hypertensive.
The prevalence of aneurysms in our sample was 2.6%, which was lower than expected. The wide use of ultrasound and its progressive generalisation in the Primary Care setting should lead to a decrease in the number of undiagnosed AAA.
初级保健。
对656名患者进行了筛查,代表1,658名患者的目标人群的40%。由于COVID-19大流行的爆发,目标人群的其余部分无法进行筛查。进行了608次超声检查。
筛查计划的覆盖范围,腹主动脉瘤的患病率,有/无动脉瘤患者的吸烟和其他危险因素的患病率。
发现19例主动脉扩张(25-29mm)和11例腹主动脉瘤(1.81%)。5人是活跃吸烟者(45%,与整个样本中的20%相比),6人是前吸烟者。没有动脉瘤患者是非吸烟者。其中7人为高血压。
我们样本中动脉瘤的患病率为2.6%,低于预期。超声的广泛使用及其在初级保健环境中的逐步普及应导致未诊断的AAA数量的减少。
