Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Epidemiology

• An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlargement or bulging in the section of the aorta
• (the largest artery in the body, originating from the heart's left ventricle) that passes through the abdomen. It typically does not cause symptoms, but some individuals may experience intense pain in their lower back or a pulsating sensation in their abdomen.
• Abdominal aortic aneurysms often do not cause noticeable symptoms, so healthcare providers usually detect unruptured aneurysms during tests performed for other medical reasons. If a healthcare provider suspects aneurysm based on test results or other signs, they might order imaging tests such as an abdominal duplex ultrasound or a computed tomography angiogram (CTA).
• A one-time abdominal ultrasound is recommended for men aged 65 to 75 who have ever smoked.
• The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in females is significantly lower, ranging from 0.6% to 1.4%. Additionally, the frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture in the United Kingdom has been reported as 13 cases per 100,000 individuals.
• In Japan, the prevalence of symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm among the old age group (>50) was 12%. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is more prevalent in males in Japan as compared to females.
• The frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysm begins to rise after the age of 60, reaching its highest risk level during the seventh and eighth decades of life.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm: Disease Understanding

Abdominal aortic aneurysm Overview, and Diagnosis

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition where a section of the aorta, the body's main artery located in the abdomen, becomes abnormally enlarged or bulges outward. It is characterized by a permanent, localized dilation of the vessel, where the diameter increases by at least 150% compared to the normal size of the adjacent artery which may be discovered either in the screening of any other disease or when a rupture occurs.

Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) include atherosclerosis (the most common), smoking, older age, male sex, a family history of AAA, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and a previous history of aortic dissection. Other contributing causes include cystic medial necrosis, syphilis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Aneurysms often develop gradually over many years without causing symptoms. However, symptoms can emerge suddenly if the aneurysm grows quickly, ruptures, or leaks blood within the vessel wall (aortic dissection). Symptoms of rupture include:

Intense, sudden, or persistent pain in the abdomen or back, which may radiate to the groin, buttocks, or legs.

• Fainting or loss of consciousness.
• Cool, clammy skin.
• Dizziness.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Rapid heart rate.
• Signs of shock.

 

The Abdominal aortic aneurysm report provides an overview of abdominal aortic aneurysm pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and detailed diagnostic algorithm along with a real-world scenario of a patient’s journey beginning from the first symptom, and the time taken for diagnosis.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm Epidemiology

The abdominal aortic aneurysm epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total prevalent cases, total diagnosed prevalent cases, gender-specific cases, and age-specific cases of Abdominal aortic aneurysm in the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

• According to a study, the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in screening studies ranges from 3% to 8%, with males being the most affected group.
• The prevalence of asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm has been reported as 8.2% in the United Kingdom and 8.8% in Italy (only in males).
• The reported frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture in the US is approximately 4.4 cases per 100,000 individuals.
• In Spain, the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm among men aged 65–74 years was found to be 2.3%.
• The condition primarily affects older individuals, with the average age of onset occurring between 55 and 65 years, while in females, it typically develops 5 to 8 years later.

 

KOL Views

To gaze into the epidemiology insights of the real world, we take KOLs and SMEs’ opinions working in the domain through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research on disease prevalence.

DelveInsight’s analysts connected with 10+ KOLs to gather insights; however, interviews were conducted with 5+ KOLs in the 7MM. Centers such as the University of Michigan; University of Florida, University of Kentucky, and others were contacted. Their opinion helps understand and validate current disease prevalence, gender involved with the disease, diagnosis rate, and diagnostic criteria.
