Incidence, National Trend, and Outcome of Nontraumatic Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in Taiwan : Initial Lower Mortality, Poor Long-Term Outcome

To investigate the longitudinal trend of nontraumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), we analyzed the annual population-based incidence and mortality rate of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in Taiwan. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of mortality. The average inci...

Zusammenfassung:	To investigate the longitudinal trend of nontraumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), we analyzed the annual population-based incidence and mortality rate of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in Taiwan. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of mortality. The average incidence rate (IR) of nontraumatic SAH was 6.25±0.88 per 100,000 per year. The prevalence of female patients was higher than in the male population (54.5% versus 45.5%). The average age of these patients was 55.78±17.09 and females were older than males (58.50±15.9 versus 52.45±18.50, P
