  • Title: [Echographic screening of the abdominal aorta in older men is useful].
    Author: Boll AP.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2008 Mar 29; 152(13):750. PubMed ID: 18461892.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound detection of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in men aged 65 years or older meets the WHO criteria for screening. Evidence shows a 50% reduction of AAA-related mortality and the costs per life-year gained are acceptable. AAA-screening is not only recommended in the USA and UK but in the Netherlands as well.
