Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative inflammatory markers, length of hospital stay, and mortality in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who underwent surgical repair.
Methods: A total of 83 patients diagnosed with AAA were included in the study. A complete blood count (CBC) was performed on the first visit (pre-op 0-1 hour) in all patients. Non-ruptured cases (AAA) and ruptured cases (AAA-R) were compared.
Results: 14.5% (n=12) of the patients died. Higher White blood cells and neutrophils were obtained in patients who died than in surviving patients (respectively, p=0.0002, p=0.001). Higher WBC and NALP in AAA-R patients were determined.
Conclusion: WBC and Neu's values were higher in AAA patients who died post-operatively and who were detected rupture pre-operatively but PLT and HB values were similar. Normal or near-normal HB and PLT values that will be seen in the first examination of AAA cases in the emergency department may mislead clinicians or cause them to display a more optimistic attitude.
