Background Factors predicting the growth or rupture of unruptured intracranial aneurysms
(UIAs) remain under debate. Increased availability of neuro-imaging has led to increasing …

Background and Purpose—We wanted to evaluate potential risk factors for unruptured
intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) in a large …

Background and Purpose—We investigated which aneurysm-related risk factors for rupture
best discriminate ruptured versus unruptured saccular intracranial aneurysms (sIAs) in …

Objective Small unruptured aneurysms (< 5 mm) are known for their very low risk of rupture,
and are recommended to be treated conservatively. However, we encounter many patients …

Background Smoking and hypertension increase the risk of aneurismal subarachnoid
haemorrhage (SAH) two to threefold whereas a familial predisposition increases the risk …

Background and purpose We previously reported a single-centre study demonstrating that
smoking confers a six-fold increased risk for having an unruptured intracranial aneurysm …

Background and Purpose—Knowledge about risk factors contributes to understanding the
pathophysiological mechanisms that cause intracranial aneurysm rupture and helps to …

Introduction. It has been theorised that the relationship between smaller body size and
smaller ruptured intracranial aneurysms in Asians indirectly supports the treatment of small …

Background and Purpose—The estimates on the prevalence and the risk of rupture of
intracranial saccular aneurysms vary widely between studies. We conducted a systematic …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate sex differences in the major
established risk factors for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) in a large …
