Analysis of epidemiological characteristics and prognosis based on 1,343 cases of aortic dissection from a regional single center

Key Points

• Aortic dissection shows a higher incidence in middle-aged and elderly males, particularly those with hypertension.
• In-hospital mortality risk is significantly increased by acute onset, chest pain, type A dissection, and larger false lumen diameter.
• Higher heart rates and non-surgical management are also associated with worse patient outcomes during hospitalization.
• Emergency clinical practice must prioritize vigilance due to distinct temporal patterns and risk factors for aortic dissection.
