What factors are associated with large intracranial aneurysm size and subsequent mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Cigarette smoking and middle cerebral artery origin are independently associated with larger intracranial aneurysms, which in turn increase the risk of 3-month mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Qureshi et al. (2000) studied this question.
