Brief summary
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to describe the incidence and outcome of patients diagnosed with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden between 2000-2023. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What was the observed incidence and outcome, and how did it change during the time period? * How did socioeconomic factors influence incidence and outcome of AMI? * What main surgical approaches were selected for these patients? * What was the distribution of anticoagulant use in the cohort, and what effect did the introduction of new oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have on incidence and mortality in AMI? * What was the prevalence of Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) after surgical intervention? Participants were obtained from the regional diagnosis registry. Additional datapoints were obtained from the Swedish statistics bureau and pharmaceutical registers.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of acute mesenteric ischemia | Year 2000-2023 | Annual incidence rate of acute mesenteric ischemia per 100,000 person-years in the Västra Götaland region. |
| Mortality from acute mesenteric ischemia | 30 days, 90 days, 1 year. | All-cause mortality within up to 1 year of AMI diagnosis. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Surgical management strategy | Year 2000-2023 | Proportion of patients undergoing bowel resection, revascularization (open or endovascular), or non-operative management. |
| Socioeconomic determinants of incidence and outcome | Year 2000-2023 | Association between SES indicators (income, education, immigration status, geographic distance to care) and risk of AMI or mortality. |
| Anticoagulant use patterns | At AMI diagnosis; trends from 2000-2023 | Proportion of patients using vitamin-K antagonists, NOACs, antiplatelet therapy, or no anticoagulation; association with incidence and survival. |
| Prevalence of Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) | Within 1 year of surgical intervention | Number and percentage of patients developing SBS (ICD-10 K91.2 and K90.8) after AMI. |
| Temporal trends in incidence and mortality | Year 2000-2023 | Change over time in incidence and mortality, including before and after introduction of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). |
