Background-It is recognized that factors beyond aortic size are important in predicting outcome in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease. AAA is characterized by the breakdown of elastin within the aortic tunica media, leading to aortic dilatation and rupture. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of plasma desmosine (pDES), an elastin-specific degradation product, with disease severity and clinical outcome in patients with AAA.Methods and Results-We measured pDES and serum biomarker concentrations in 507 patients with AAAs (94% men; mean age, 72.4 +/- 6.1 years; mean AAA diameter, 48 +/- 8 mm) and 162 control subjects (100% men; mean age, 71.5 +/- 4.4 years) from 2 observational cohort studies. In the longitudinal cohort study (n=239), we explored the incremental prognostic value of pDES on AAA events. pDES was higher in patients with AAA compared with control subjects (mean +/- SD: 0.46 +/- 0.22 versus 0.33 +/- 0.16 ng/mL; P
