- W2018557637 abstract "Gloucestershire's screening project shows the potential benefits of a national programme and how it could be run Every year about 6000 men die from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm in England and Wales.1 Although this represents only about 2% of all deaths in men, the condition is largely preventable. It is also a disease that seems to be increasingly prevalent, at least in Scotland, despite the fact that deaths from other atherosclerotic conditions are reducing.2 This article explores the requirements for a national aortic screening programme, using as a model the Gloucestershire aneurysm screening project, which has been running for 13 years.3Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms fulfils all the criteria for a population screening programme,4 5although only in men.6 The recent multicentre aneurysm screening study found that screening reduced the mortality from aneurysm disease in men by 42% after four years of follow up; it is expected, with further study, to show a small but significant decrease in the population mortality.7 The study also showed that screening is as cost effective as other current screening programmes, at a cost of £28 000 for each added year of life.8 ![][1] Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is largely preventableCredit: GCa/SPLThis information builds on data from previous smaller randomised studies,9–11 and has encouraged debate about the value of a national screening programme for aortic aneurysms.12 13 The National Screening Committee in the United Kingdom is currently assessing the evidence before making any recommendation.14 Our experience in Gloucestershire shows how a screening programme could work.Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm was introduced in Gloucestershire in September 1990.
