Epidemiology of Patients Coming With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage to a Tertiary Care Facility in the State of Qatar
In a large state-of-the-art, tertiary care hospital serving a young, male-skewed population, SAH presents at a younger age with a distinct ethnic composition, yet the principal determinants of outcome remain neurological grade and hemorrhage burden at presentation. Endovascular coiling is associated with better functional outcomes overall, particularly in the posterior circulation, while clipping retains a role for selected anterior circulation aneurysms. These findings offer current evidence base for service planning, targeted prevention in high-risk subpopulations, and the design of prospective trials in the region.
