简要总结
The acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic requires a redefinition of healthcare system to increase the number of available intensive care units for COVID-19 patients. This leads to the postponing of elective surgeries including the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The probabilistic rupture risk index (PRRI) recently showed its advantage over the diameter criterion in AAA rupture risk assessment. Its major improvement is in increased specificity and yet has the same sensitivity as the maximal diameter criterion. The objective of this study was to test the clinical applicability of the PRRI diagnostic method in a quasi-prospective observational patient cohort study.

结局指标
主要结局
Test the clinical applicability of the BRRA method
时间窗: 21 months
Identify the number of number of false positive and false negative cases assessed by BRRA method according to clinical data and compare these data to control group where the decision making process was based only on maximal diameter of AAA
次要结局
- Reduction of time required for AAA assessment(21 months)
