==Epidemiology and demographics==
==Epidemiology and demographics==
The reported proportion of cases of NASAH that are PM-NASAH varies between 21 to 68 percent [1,2,6,8-11]. In a biracial, population-based, epidemiologic study, the annual rate of PM-NASAH was estimated to be 0.5 per 100,000 persons over 18 years of age [8].
The mean age of occurrence of PM-NASAH in several series was between 50 and 55 years [8,12,13]. However, the age in reported cases ranges from 3 to 72 years old [1,7,14-16]. In contrast to aneurysmal SAH, there is no clear female predisposition for PM-NASAH [8,12,13].
Case-control studies suggest that hypertension and cigarette smoking are risk factors for PM-NASAH, but these appear to be somewhat less prevalent among patients with PM-NASAH compared with patients with aneurysmal SAH [8,17,18]. PM-NASAH is not known to have a familial predisposition; however two cases in first-degree relatives have been described
===
The incidence of aneurysmal SAH varies by geographic region. In the United States, the incidence is reportedly between 10 and 15 people per 100,000 population [1,2]. Much lower rates are reported in China (2 cases per 100,000) and in South and Central America (4 per 100,000), while higher rates are reported in Finland and Japan (19 to 23 per 100,000) [3,4].
The mean age at aneurysmal rupture is 55 years [5]. While most aneurysmal SAH occur between 40 and 60 years of age; however young children and the elderly can be affected [6,7]. African Americans appear to be at higher risk than Caucasian Americans [8]. There is a slightly higher incidence of aneurysmal SAH in women, which may relate to hormonal status (see 'Estrogen deficiency' below) [6,9].

Overview

The incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage was estimated 10.5 per 100 000 person annually.[1] Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) usually occurs at a relatively young age. the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) increases with age and commonly affects adults 􏰁≥50 years of age.[2] females are slightly more affected with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage|subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) than men (1.24 times higher than in men).[2][3]

Epidemiology and demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage was estimated 10.5 per 100 000 person annually.[1]

Age

  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) usually occurs at a relatively young age
  • The incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) increases with age and commonly affects adults 􏰁≥50 years of age.[2]
  • The mean age of perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal Subarachnoid hemorrhage|subarachnoid hemorrhage (PM-NASAH) occurrence was reported between 50 and 55 years.[4]

Gender

  • Women are slightly more affected with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage|subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) than men (1.24 times higher than in men).[2][5]
  • Unlike aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the incidence of perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (PM-NASAH) does not vary by gender.[4]

Race

  • The incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH is higher in Blacks and Hispanics compere to white Americans.[6]

Geographic region

  • In the United States, the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is 10 to 15 cases per 100,000 population.[7]
  • In China, the incidence of aneurysmal aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is 2 cases per 100,000 population.[8]
  • In South and Central America, the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is 4 cases per 100,000 population.[9]
  • In Finland and Japan, the incidence of aneurysmal aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is 19 to 23 cases per 100,000 population. [10]

Case fatality rate

  • An average case fatality rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was estimated to be 50,000 cases per 100,000 individuals.[11][12]
    • 10,000 cases per 100,000 individuals die prior reaching the hospital
    • 25,000 cases per 100,000 individuals die within 24 hours of SAH
    • 45,000 cases per 100,000 individuals die within 30 days of SAH
