Abstract

Among all patients with SAH, women >or =50 years of age outnumber other age and sex categories. Female sex itself is also associated with an increased rate of multiple aneurysms among SAH patients. Among the elderly > or =70 years of age, prognosis is less favorable for SAH patients with multiple aneurysms than for those with a single aneurysm.
