Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Screening

The USPSTF recommends that:
For men aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked:
Perform 1-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with ultrasonography in men who have a history of smoking.
Grade B

For men aged 65 to 75 years who have never smoked:
Selectively offer screening to men who do not have a history of smoking, rather than routinely screening all men in this group
Grade C

For women who have never smoked and have no family history of AAA:
Do not screen women who have never smoked and do not have a family history of AAA.
Grade D

For women aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked or have a family history of AAA:
Evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for AAA with ultrasonography in women aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked or have a family history of AAA.
