Abstract
Outcome of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in the Elderly: Retrospective Study of a Contemporary Cohort Treated in a Regional Neuroscience Centre
The incidence of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) increases with age, and together with the elderly constituting a significant and growing proportion of the population in developed countries, this poses unique challenges to the healthcare system. Treatment of SAH in the elderly is traditionally underrepresented due to pessimism toward its outcome. With recent advances in management techniques, it has been suggested that elderly patients with SAH may benefit from treatment.
