| description | Background and Aim: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an important mortality factor especially in old men. The present study aimed at investigating prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in people over 65 years old who referred to the ultrasonic centers in Birjand educational hospitals in 2014.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1451 individuals were willingly selected from over 65 patients over 65 years old, with no history of abdominal aortic aneurysm who had referred to the ultrasonic centers of Imam Reza and Vali-e- Asr hospitals in 2014, .using simple non-probability sampling method. A Canadian ultrasonic device with 3.5 MHz Linea spherical probe was used for the measurement of aortic diameter while a questionnaire was used in order to record demographic information as well as risk factors. The obtained data was analyzed by SPSS (V:16) statistical software using Chi-square and independent-T tests at the significance level of P&le 0.05.
Results: It was found that out of 1451 patients ., 99 cases (6.8%) suffered from abdominal aortic aneurysm. Relative frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysm did notreveal a significant difference regarding the sex. However, prevalence of the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm had a significant relationship with the .variables of age, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
Conclusion: Due to high prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in people over 65 years, screening for of abdominal aortic aneurysm is suggested for the lederly. |
