  Purpose

Conflicting results have been reported concerning the association of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Schumacher et al. reported an association between AAA and PXF, with no consideration of grade. However, a later study did not confirm the association between AAA and PXF. The present study aimed at comparing the relative prevalence of PXF in patients suffering from AAA and in age-matched hypertensive patients.

  • standard ophthalmologic examination to group patients according to their pseudoexfoliation status [ Time Frame: Day of standard ophthalmologic examination ]

Enrollment: 208
Study Start Date: December 2001
Study Completion Date: July 2002
Groups/Cohorts
AAA group, control group
AAA group : with AAA Control group: without AAA

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   60 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

in patients suffering from abdominal aortic aneurism as part of a routine clinical yearly follow-up and hypertensive patients without abdominal aortic aneurism and that were more than 60 years old to have similar mean ages in both groups, as pseudoexfoliation and abdominal aortic aneurism are age-related disorders

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of abdominal aortic aneurism
  • Systemic hypertension without abdominal aortic aneurism over 60 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unknown status for abdominal aortic aneurism
