Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms in men: a Canadian perspective using Monte Carlo–based estimates

摘要

ObjectiveRecently generated randomized screening trial data have provided good evidence in favour of routine screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) to reduce AAA-related deaths in men aged 65 years and older. We developed an economic model that assessed the incremental cost–utility of AAA screening to help decision makers judge the relevance of a national screening program in Canada.
