Fig 1 Graph of the mean age of all total screened and appropriately screened patients for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) over a 5-year span. The mean age of patients screened decreases over time. The average age for screened patients in 2007 is significantly older than screened patients in 2011, both in total screened and appropriately screened patients (P < .001).

Fig 2 The number of inappropriate screenings over a 5-year period. The total number of inappropriate screenings decreases over time. The percentages of inappropriate screens per year are 39.2% in 2007, 33.7% in 2008, 28.6% in 2009, 17.7% in 2010, and 14.3% in 2011. In 2007, the percentage of inappropriate screens is significantly higher than in 2011 (P < .001).
