Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe patient-reported outcomes of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm approaching the surgical threshold.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This multicentre, observational cohort study included patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a maximum aneurysm diameter of greater than or equal to 40\u2005mm. The EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (range \u22120.446 to 1, minimal clinically important difference 0.071), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire (0\u201321 points\/subscale, minimal clinically important difference 1.7 points), and the short version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (0\u20136 points) were mailed to patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm at baseline and after 1 and 2 years or until abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery\/death. Linear mixed-effects models were used to describe the evolution of patient-reported outcomes over time and investigate changes attributable to clinical characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In total, 291 to 294 responses to each questionnaire were available from 124 patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, of whom 34 underwent surgery during follow-up. The mean health-related quality of life and anxiety and depression scores over time were 0.781 (95% c.i. 0.749 to 0.814), 4.4 points (95% c.i. 3.9 to 4.9), and 4.6 points (95% c.i. 4.0 to 5.2) respectively. Anxiety and depression scores decreased in patients who underwent surgery with a mean of 2.8 (95% c.i. 1.1 to 4.6) and 2.0 (95% c.i. 0.4 to 3.6) points\/year respectively, compared with patients who had not had surgery. Considering the minimal clinically important difference, patients with a primary education alone, compared with a secondary education, had higher or increasing anxiety and depression scores. Patients with a first-degree relative with an abdominal aortic aneurysm had a higher risk of clinical anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Although health-related quality of life, anxiety, and depression remain stable over time on average, anxiety and depression decrease in patients approaching surgery. Patients with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm or a primary education alone experience more anxiety and\/or depression and thus might benefit from a tailored approach during surveillance.<\/jats:p>\n
