The Glasgow Aneurysm Score is a prognostic system for predicting mortality when operating on either intact or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Parameters:
(1) age
(2) shock
(3) myocardial disease
(4) cerebrovascular disease
(5) renal disease

Glasgow aneurysm score =
= (age in years) + (17 * (shock value)) + (7 * (myocardial disease value)) + (10 * (cerebrovascular disease value)) + (14 * (renal disease value))
Interpretation:
• minimum score: age
• maximum score: age + 48
