| Abstract | The aim of the study was to determine variables that could be used to predict survival in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) and to assess the accuracy of the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) and the Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II). From January 1998 to July 2006, 103 patients underwent operations for RAAA. For each patient, 44 variables were retrospectively recorded in a database. Data were analyzed with univariate and multivariate methods. In the univariate analysis significant predictors of death were hypotension (p=0.001), preexisting peripheral vascular disease (p<0.001), renal insufficiency (p=0.037), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p=0.028), level of HCO(3)(-) (p<0.001), intraperitoneal rupture (p=0.001), blood transfused (p<0.001), cardiac complications (p<0.001), and APACHE-II score (p=0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed statistical significance for coexisting peripheral vascular disease (p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure at admission <60 mm Hg (p=0.039), APACHE-II score >18.5 (p=0.025), HCO(3)(-) <21 mg/dL (p<0.001), and intraperitoneal rupture of the aneurysm (p=0.011) as predictors of death. Results of the study suggested that different factors can be helpful in identifying those patients whose operative risk is prohibitive. APACHE-II, contrary to GAS, is an accurate system to predict postoperative death after repair for RAAA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
