Zusammenfassung:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—Though reports suggest decreasing fatality rates of subarachnoid hemorrhage with time, trends in outcome are not reported much especially from developing countries. This study was to analyze changes in outcome across 2 decades and elucidate probable factors. METHODS—Prospective databases during 1996 to 2015 were reviewed for neurological outcome at 3 months in relation to demographics, Hunt and Hess grade, Fisher grade, and definitive treatment; and compared between 2 decades, contrasted by establishment of intensive care unit with continuous monitoring and other advancements. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS—Of the total 2039 patients, 1035 were managed in the former and 1004 in the recent decades. Compared with the former decade, there is delayed age at presentation (46 versus 49 years, P
