Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS)
Predicts perioperative mortality in elective and ruptured AAA repair (Samy 1994). GAS = age + 17(shock) + 7(MI) + 10(CVD) + 14(renal disease).
Score interpretation
→ Standard elective AAA repair pathway (EVAR preferred per NICE NG156). Cardio-pulmonary fitness assessment pre-op (CPET, echo).
→ MDT discussion. Optimise comorbidities; consider EVAR if anatomy permits. Detailed informed consent. ITU bed planned.
→ Discuss best supportive care vs intervention. EVAR strongly preferred if intervention offered. Family meeting pre-op. If ruptured presentation — apply Hardman in parallel.
