Summary:

This dissertation by Jakob Hager explores the clinical challenges and strategies to reduce mortality from ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (rAAA), a condition primarily affecting elderly men. The work examines aspects such as referral patterns, risk factors, and the effectiveness of screening programs. It highlights the critical role of early detection through screening to prevent ruptures and discusses the impact of various surgical and non-surgical management techniques. The research underscores the importance of strategic healthcare decisions and policies to improve survival rates, emphasizing that current referral practices do not significantly alter mortality outcomes.
