PWRI, but not PWS, significantly improved the classification of risk of AAA events compared to the initial AAA diameter alone. Conclusion: PWS and PWRI predicted the risk of AAA events but only PWRI significantly improved the risk stratification compared to aortic diameter alone. Key Points: • Aortic diameter is an imperfect measure of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk. • This observational study of 210 participants found that peak wall stress (PWS) and peak wall rupture index (PWRI) predicted the risk of aortic rupture or AAA repair. • PWRI, but not PWS, significantly improved the risk stratification for AAA events compared to aortic diameter alone.]]> Thu 31 Aug 2023 14:30:26 AEST ]]> Source control in emergency general surgery: WSES, GAIS, SIS-E, SIS-A guidelines https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52816 Mon 30 Oct 2023 08:44:26 AEDT ]]>
