This study was undertaken to examine the community hospital experience in managing ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, and to assess the quality of life in survivors of the abdominal aortic aneurysm procedure. Study parameters included a retrospective chart review with prospective follow-up at a 369-bed, university-affiliated, community teaching hospital. Eighty-one consecutive patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm between 1991 and 2000 were included. Main outcome measures included mortality and quality of life, as assessed by the SF-36 health survey. The overall perioperative mortality rate was 34.6%, significantly less (p < 0.005) than the 50 % mortality rate reported in the literature. Predictor variables ...
