Risk Factors and Age Analysis in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
1Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı, Sivas, Türkiye
Risk factors for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and risk factors for intracranial aneurysms are largely similar. When analyzing risk
factors, taking into consideration whether these risk factors can be changed or not will be useful in terms of determining preventive
approaches. These risk factors include genetic markers, biomarkers, and epidemiological factors. Among the epidemiologic factors;
age, gender, hypertension and current smoking are the four independent risk factors for SAH. Since age and gender cannot be
changed, it is essential for SAH to be prevented by avoiding hypertension and current smoking as preventable risk factors.
