At five years, aneurysms ruptured in 1.6% of drug users versus 2.4% of matched nonusers in an observational study.At five years, aneurysms ruptured in 1.6% of drug users versus 2.4% of matched nonusers in an observational study.
Cohort studyAbdominal aortic aneurysm
Who was studiedPatients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, five years, against matched nonusers
What changedAneurysm ruptures occurred in 1.6% of drug users versus 2.4% of matched nonusers at five years
The catchMatching did not include aneurysm size, so baseline rupture risk could differ between groups
