Why the study?
The management of older aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage cases is a clinical challenge, motivating an analysis of survival and functional outcomes to guide treatment decisions.
Does operative treatment reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes compared to conservative treatment in older patients (age ≥ 70 years) with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage?
Does operative treatment reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes compared to conservative treatment in older patients (age ≥ 70 years) with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage?
In older patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, operative treatment significantly reduces 2-year mortality compared to conservative management, though it does not significantly improve the rate of independent survival.
Survival estimates in older aSAH patients inform prognosis discussions; leaves open optimal treatment selection pending randomized trials.
