CHANGING INCIDENCE OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY
Abstract
The apparent incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms among Rochester, Minnesota residents increased seven-fold between 1951 and 1980, while the incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysms declined somewhat. Rates for abdominal aneurysms rose with age and were greater among men. The overall incidence in 1971-1980 was 36.5 per 100,000 person-years. While all clinical classes of abdominal aortic aneurysms became more frequent, the greatest rise in incidence was for small, asymptomatic, and uncomplicated aneurysms which suggested an important role for more complete case ascertainment in recent years. The secular trend in abdominal aortic aneurysm incidence seems to be different from that observed for stroke or for coronary heart disease in the same community.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
