简要总结
The study aims at screening Israeli Arab men, smokers or past smokers, for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
The screening is to be performed at the family doctors clinics in the rural arab erea of the north of Israel.
Goals:
The investigators aim at revealing the actual prevalence of AAA in the Israeli Arab smoking men population. By revealing this prevalence we believe the need for a nation-wide screening program for AAA will turn available for assessment.
In addition, the goal of improving the accessibility of health services for the Israeli Arab population is a key issue in the design of the research.
2000 patients are to be enrolled in the study over a period of 2 years. Each of the patients will be examined once for a duplex ultra-sound and will be classified into one of 4 sub-groups according to the maximal aortic diameter found.
