Abstract:
Abdominal aortic aneurysms(AAAs) is the most common aneurysm,and usually characterized by less symptom.While ruptured AAAs leads to high mortality.Abdominal ultrasonography can effectively detect AAA,decrease the AAAs-related mortality.However,screening AAAs causes some adverse outcomes,including psychological distress and immediate harms in treatment.Meanwhile,the prevalence of AAAs in sex and age is significantly different.Therefore,a reasonable and effective screening strategy is very important.This article search random control trials,systematic reviews,meta-analysis and guidelines in screening AAAs to obtain a reasonable screening strategy.
