The incidence rate of aortic dissection (AD) is low, but it is highly fatal in the acute phase. Miss diagnosis and misdiagnosis can occur occasionally, resulting the miss of the best intervention time. Research on the epidemiological characteristics and of AD and related risk factors can identify high-risk groups, make screening and diagnosis as soon as possible and effectively control the changeable risk factors to reduce the incidence of AD and improve the outcome of AD cases. This paper summarizes the progress in research of the epidemiological characteristics of AD and related risk factors in order to promote early prevention and diagnosis of AD, improve the AD case management and intervention level.
主动脉夹层（AD）发病率低，急性期高度致命，容易漏诊和误诊，从而错过最佳干预时间，对于AD的发病及其危险因素进行研究，可以确定AD高危人群，尽早开展筛查诊断，同时对其可改变的危险因素进行有效控制以改善AD发生与结局。本文对AD流行特征及其危险因素进行综述，以期促进AD的早期预防与诊断，提升AD患者的管理和干预水平。.
