How is AAA screening accepted by clinicians?

Authors: Janek Saluse, Kristi Liiv, Raul-Allan Kiivet

Internal reviewers: Grace Jennings, Scott Goulden

No direct evidence exists of complete acceptability to health professionals and the public but acceptance is high and the introduction of screening in the UK would be supported by the majority of vascular surgeons, provided that sufficient resources were made available to carry out screening effectively and efficiently. In addition questionnaires asking about acceptability were sent to participants and GPs. The majority of responses were positive {13}.

Authors: Janek Saluse, Kristi Liiv, Raul-Allan Kiivet

Internal reviewers: Grace Jennings, Scott Goulden

In the MASS trial no significant changes in quality of life were detected throughout the screening process. In addition, questionnaires asking about acceptability were sent to participants and GPs. The majority of responses were positive {13}.

In Sweden the attendance rate for screening is 80-85% of those invited {11}.

A Danish cohort study showed an attendance rate of 76% after postal invitation to AAA screening {9}.
