TI  - Applicability of Glasgow Aneurysm Score and Hardman Index to elective 
      endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
PG  - 113-7
AB  - OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study aimed to explore the role of Glasgow Aneurysm 
      Score (GAS) and Hardman Index (HI) in predicting outcome after elective 
      endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS: All 71 patients who underwent 
      elective EVAR in a single centre over 9 years were reviewed. Clinical data were 
      used to classify patients into the three standard GAS tertiles and to score 
      patients according to the HI. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients scored > or = 77 
      according to GAS. Actual and predicted mortality in this group were 3.9% and 
      9.3%. Seventeen patients scored between 69 and 77 with actual and predicted 
      mortality of 0% and 4.1%. Three patients scored less than 69 with actual and 
      predicted mortality of 0% and 2.4%. Ten patients scored > or = 3 on the HI with 
      actual and predicted mortality of 10% and 100%, respectively. Twenty-four 
      patients scored 2 with actual and predicted mortality of 4.2% and 55%. 
      Twenty-seven patients scored 1 with actual and predicted mortality of 0% and 28%, 
      respectively. Ten patients scored 0 with actual and predicted mortality of 0% and 
      16%, respectively. The chi(2) test showed extremely significant p value of 0.0001 
      in case of HI, and p value of 0.0800 for GAS, slightly less significant, probably 
      due to the small sample size. CONCLUSION: Contrary to their role in ruptured and 
      open aortic aneurysm repair, GAS and HI overestimate both mortality and morbidity 
      following EVAR and are poor predictors of outcome.
