Age‐specific incidence, risk factors and outcome of acute abdominal aortic aneurysms in a defined population

Contemporary population‐based data on age‐specific incidence and outcome from acute abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) events are needed to understand the impact of risk factor modification and demographic change, and to inform AAA screening policy.
