The annual number of admissions remained relatively constant from 1987 to 1997, with a mean of 44 (95% CI 39.91\u201348.09). There was a significant decrease to a mean of 33.67 per annum (95% CI 28.53\u201338.8) in the period 1998\u20132009, p\u2009=\u20090.006. The mean mortality was 39.8% and showed no significant decrease. There was no increase in the number of elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs during the study period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that the incidence of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is decreasing, mirroring the trend seen in other cardiovascular disease.
