Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective 1) - the prevalence of UIA in persons with >=1 FDR with an UIA Objective 2) - the prevalence of potential risk factors for UIA development in persons with >=1 FDR with an UIA Objective 3) - the prevalence of UIA in persons with >=1 FDR with an UIA | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective 1) - costs of screening for and preventive treatment of UIA - clinical outcome after preventive treatment of an UIA identified with screening - decision model studying cost-effectiveness expressed in costs per QALY Objective 2) - prediction model of risk of UIA in persons with >=1 FDR with an UIA Objective 3) - correlation of imaging markers on 3T and 7T MRA and biopsy findings of the UIA wall | — |
