Factors associated with symptom-to-surgery time in patients undergoing surgical repair for acute type A aortic dissection: an exploratory analysis from a prospective cohort study
Potentially modifiable factors that may reduce STS times include avoidance of misdiagnosis and provision of a medical doctor for the ambulance transfer. Younger women had longer STS and ETS times, but further research is warranted to investigate the impact of age and sex on these times. The relationship between STS time and hospital mortality among these patients remains unclear.
