Global burden of subarachnoid hemorrhage attributable to ambient PM_2.5 in low-resource regions (1990-2050).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is increasingly recognized as a PM_2.5-linked neurological emergency, yet global spatiotemporal burden evidence across socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic subgroups remains scarce, impeding tarsgeted prevention. This study quantifies current burden, trends, and future SAH projections attributable to PM_2.5 using the latest data.

Methods

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we analyzed deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from SAH attributable to ambient PM_2.5 pollution (1990-2021) across 204 countries/territories, stratified by age, sex, region, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Temporal trends were quantified using estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs), and
