Health-related quality of life in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with high mortality and disability. The data from large longitudinal studies on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with SAH are limited. The objective was to investigate HRQoL in patients after SAH and to identify predictors of HRQoL. METHODS 113 patients with aneurysmal SAH were assigned to either n...

Long-Term Excess Mortality After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Patients With Multiple Aneurysms at Risk.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is high case-fatality rate and loss of productive life-years related to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) but data on long-term survival of patients with aSAH are scarce. We aim to evaluate long-term excess mortality and related risk factors after an aSAH event. METHODS Survivors (n=3078) of aSAH who had survived for ≥1 year were reviewed for this retrospe...

Evidence for excess long-term mortality after treated subarachnoid hemorrhage.
