Elective open and endovascular repair rates were 41 (95 per cent c.i. 23 to 61) and 60 (36 to 89) per cent higher respectively among men aged 55\u201364 years in the most versus least deprived areas by quintile. This differences diminished and appeared to reverse with increasing age, with 26 (\u22121 to 45) and 25 (13 to 35) per cent lower rates respectively in men aged 85\u2009years or more in the most deprived areas. Men admitted from more deprived areas were more likely to die in hospital without aneurysm repair. Among those who had aneurysm repair, this was more likely to be for a ruptured aneurysm than among men from less deprived areas. For intact aneurysm repair, they were relatively more likely to have this during an emergency admission. The mortality rate after repair was higher for men from more deprived areas, although the hazard diminished with age. Patterns were unclear for women.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There were clear socioeconomic disparities in operation rates, mode of presentation, and outcome for AAA surgery.
