2 Fig Percentage of the study population who underwent early aneurysm repair as based on the Society for Vascular Surgery recommended diameter threshold (men, <55 mm; women, <50 mm), stratified by sex and frailty level. Overall, male patients were twice as likely to undergo early repair as female patients. Higher frailty strata were associated with fewer early endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) repairs (male, P = .03; female, P = .02); however, there was no significant difference in the percentage of patients who underwent early open aortic repair (OAR) based on frailty strata (male, P = .15; female, P = .94). mFI, Modified Frailty Index.
