OBJECTIVE: Although inguinal hernia and aortic aneurysm share similar pathogenic mechanisms of collagen and elastin destruction, their clinical association in geriatric patients is inconclusive. We assessed the association between hernia and the subsequent occurrence of aortic aneurysm in geriatric patients.
METHODS: Adult patients with hernias between 2000 and 2012 were identified from a longitudinal claims database of 1 million beneficiaries from Taiwan's National Health Insurance program, and a control group of patients without hernia were matched by propensity score in a ratio of 1:3. Patients previously diagnosed with aortic aneurysms or connective tissue diseases were excluded. Follow-up ended on December 31, 2013. The incidence rate of aortic aneurysm was compared between patients with hernia and those without. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate relative hazards.
RESULTS: After propensity score matching, there were 16,933 patients with hernia (aged 20-64 years: 10,326; ≥65 years: 6607) and 50,799 patients without hernia (aged 20-64: 30,978; ≥65: 19,821). Patients with hernia had a greater incidence rate and hazard ratio of aortic aneurysm than did patients without hernia (6.4 vs 4.8/10,000 person-years; adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio [sdHR], 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.76; P = .03), especially for those aged ≥65 years (15.6 vs 10.4/10,000 person-years; adjusted sdHR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.07-1.94; P = .01) In addition, geriatric patients with hernia were associated with a marginally greater risk of thoracic (adjusted sdHR, 1.66; 95% CI, 0.96-2.86) and abdominal (adjusted sdHR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.96-1.94) aortic aneurysm rupture.
CONCLUSIONS: Geriatric patients with hernia were associated with a greater incidence of aortic aneurysm than were those without.
