Resumen
BOBADILLA-ROSADO, Luis O. et al. Mortality and hospitalization trends for aortic aneurysms and dissections in Mexico. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2024, vol.160, n.1, pp.102-109. Epub 26-Mar-2024. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.23000415.
Background:
In Mexico, there is a paucity of evidence on mortality and hospitalization patterns associated with aortic aneurysms and dissections.
Objective:
To analyze national databases and describe the epidemiological characteristics of different acute aortic pathologies.
Material and methods:
Retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study, in which mortality and hospitalization attributed to aortic aneurysms and dissections were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed on Stata 16.
Results:
A total of 6,049 deaths were documented in the general population, which included 2,367 hospitalizations and 476 in-hospital deaths. In addition, a statistically significant difference was found between mean age at death in the general population (69.5 years) and the in-hospital death group (64.1 years), p < 0.001. As for hospitalizations secondary to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, 149 cases were identified, with a mean age of 65.6 years, out of whom 53 (35.5 %) were under 65 years of age, with a mean age of 47.8 years.
Conclusions:
Epidemiological reports of aortic pathology in Mexico are scarce; therefore, implementation of screening and detection programs for aortic pathologies is necessary in order to address the disparities identified in this analysis.
