Current cigarette smoking was strongly associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in young adults (OR 3.73; 95% CI 2.67-5.21), alongside cocaine use and hypertension.

May inform targeted prevention in young adults; leaves open causal links pending prospective confirmation.
Broderick et al. (2003) conducted a case-control in Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=930). Current cigarette smoking vs. Matched controls was evaluated on Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (OR 3.73, 95% CI 2.67-5.21). Current cigarette smoking was strongly associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in young adults (OR 3.73; 95% CI 2.67-5.21), alongside cocaine use and hypertension.
