Geo-demographic trends in nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage-related mortality among older adults in the United States, 1999-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (ntSAH) often results from a ruptured aneurysm and correlates with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among the older population. Despite its impact, limited comprehensive studies evaluate the longitudinal trends in ntSAH-related mortality in older adults in the United States (US).
