Clinical Outcomes of Diffuse Angiogram?Negative Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Versus Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Propensity Score?Matched Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe outcome of diffuse angiogram‐negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (dan‐SAH) compared with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) remains unclear. Propensity score matching resulted in matching 65 patients with dan‐SAH to 260 patients with aSAH, and clinical outcomes were compared between the groups. versus 0%,P=0.027), death (11.2%
