The Relationships of Gender, Cigarette Smoking, and Hypertension with the Risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Case–Control Study in Nagoya, Japan

Type 2 Diabetes and Risk of Rupture of Saccular Intracranial Aneurysm in Eastern Finland

“…Three recent studies (20–22) and our present review of the literature suggest that diabetes is a protecting factor for rupture of sIA (Table 1; Fig. 1 A ) (23–29). Both type 2 diabetes and sIA disease are associated with the 9p21.3 locus (6–8,30,31), although not with the same LD block, but they do not seem to share other loci in genome-wide association studies.…”

Effects of meteorological factors on the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage: A time-series analysis

“…The risk factors investigated have included age, sex, hypertension, smoking, hypocholesterolemia, binge alcohol drinking, strenuous physical exercise, diabetes, blood transfusion, excessive coffee consumption, cocaine abuse, and a family history of SAH. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Recently, several investigators have suggested a possible contribution to the onset of SAH by meteorological factors, such as temperature and barometric pressure. [16][17][18][19][20] Jehle et al and Landers et al suggest that the incidence of SAH is associated with a large change in barometric 0967-5868/$ -see front matter Ó 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All pressure, 16,18 while Buxton et al identified a relationship between high atmospheric pressure and increased incidence of SAH.…”

Prediction of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage From a Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm by Discriminant Analysis in Women

“…However, those studies have found no significant relationship between menopause, 14 the use of hormone replacement therapy, 14 frequent alcohol consumption, 13,15 and body mass index 13,15 and the risk of SAH.…”

“…The first priority is the identification of individuals at high risk for future SAH. Therefore, to enable earlier screening of such individuals, we constructed a predictive model of the future incidence of SAH among Japanese women on the basis of selected risk factors derived from our previous studies (i.e., family history of SAH, 13 nulligravidity, 14 hypertension, 15 current smoking, 15 and lower antioxidant intake 16 ) using discriminant analysis that distinguishes between two or more predefined groups and identifies those variables that contribute most to the differences between or among groups.…”
