Abstract:
The annual incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is 9.0/100000.Although it only accounts for 5％ of all strokes,its prognosis is poor.Among the aSAH survivors,46％ of them do not completely recover within 1 year,50％ have progessive memory impairment,14％ have language disorders,and 39％ have emotional disorders.Because the social and family responsibilities shouldered by the relatively young patients,the demand for quality of life,as well as the lack of about the prognostic data of aSAH in China,all these are particularly important for the study of the prognosis of cognitive function,quality of life,and the ability of returning to work in patients with aSAH.
