Initial signs in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: time for an expanded triad?
The expanded MARS-signs could aid in easier and faster identification of rAAA patients, thus facilitating the first step with accurate diagnosis into the lifesaving rAAA care chain. Supportive diagnostic mnemonics and tools are especially important when targeting fatal diagnoses such as rAAA. Further studies are needed to investigate the implementation of the MARS-signs in various clinical settings.
