Our unit implemented a vascular nurse-run AAA clinic in October 2010. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a specialist nurse-run small AAA clinic.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Demographic and clinical data were collected prospectively for all patients seen in the new vascular nurse clinic between October 2010 and November 2012. A validated AAA operative mortality score was used to aid decision making by the vascular nurse.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Some 250 patients were seen in the clinic. 198 (79.2%) patients were enrolled in surveillance, 40 (16%) declined enrollment and 12 (4.8%) were referred to a consultant clinic for further assessment. The majority of patients were male and the mean age was 73.7 years. Co-morbidities included hypertension, a history of cardiovascular disease, and hyperlipidaemia. The majority of referrals were considered to be low operative risk. No aneurysms ruptured whilst under surveillance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n A nurse-run clinic that assesses patients with incidentally discovered small AAAs for inclusion in AAA surveillance is a feasible alternative to assessment of these patients in a consultant-run clinic.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1708538114537049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,30]],"date-time":"2014-05-30T01:22:03Z","timestamp":1401412923000},"page":"138-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A nurse-run clinic for patients with incidentally discovered small abdominal aortic aneurysms is feasible and cost-effective"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"JL","family":"Griffin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Perth Royal Infirmary, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GA","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Christchurch Public Hospital, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JA","family":"Roake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Christchurch Public Hospital, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DR","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2010.03.006"},{"key":"bibr2-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ejvs.1999.1002"},{"key":"bibr3-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.7001"},{"key":"bibr4-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1995.00430180108012"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr5-1708538114537049","first-page":"E165","volume":"54","author":"Adams K","year":"2011","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr6-1708538114537049","first-page":"S31","volume":"147","author":"Lin SY","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int J Cardiol"},{"key":"bibr7-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-4486.2008.01672.x"},{"key":"bibr8-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.hjh.0000379210.32820.85"},{"key":"bibr9-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11845-011-0679-3"},{"key":"bibr10-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.38342.665417.8F"},{"key":"bibr11-1708538114537049","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2007.03.038"}],"container-title":["Vascular"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1708538114537049","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1708538114537049","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1708538114537049","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T07:28:03Z","timestamp":1777706883000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1708538114537049"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1708538114537049"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1708538114537049","relation":{},"ISSN":["1708-5381","1708-539X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1708-5381","type":"print"},{"value":"1708-539X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,29]]}}}
