5337 men aged 65 were invited for ultrasound examination of the abdominal aorta between September 1990 and October 1992 as part of a General Practice based aneurysm screening programme covering the County of Gloucestershire. 4232 (79%) attended. 3877 (91.6%) had aortic diameters equal to or less than 2.5 cm. 302 (7.1%) had aortic diameters in the range 2.6-3.9 cm and 53 (1.3%) had a diameter of 4.0 cm or greater. Mean aortic diameter was 2.04 cm (S.D. 0.50 cm). The practicalities, costs and benefits of a community based aneurysm screening programme are discussed.
1990年9月至1992年10月期间，作为一项覆盖格洛斯特郡的基于全科医疗的动脉瘤筛查项目的一部分，邀请了5337名65岁男性进行腹主动脉超声检查。4232人（79%）参加了检查。3877人（91.6%）的主动脉直径等于或小于2.5厘米。302人（7.1%）的主动脉直径在2.6 - 3.9厘米范围内，53人（1.3%）的主动脉直径为4.0厘米或更大。平均主动脉直径为2.04厘米（标准差0.50厘米）。本文讨论了基于社区的动脉瘤筛查项目的实际操作、成本和益处。
