Abstract

Background

Various studies have attempted to link aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with environmental factors, yielding inconsistent results.

Methods

We retrospectively collected clinical and demographic data from all patients who presented to our hospital with aSAH between January 1st, 2015, and December 31st, 2021.

Results

Our study found a significant variation in the occurrence of aneurysm ruptures based on the day of the week, with more ruptures occurring on Mondays compared to Fridays. Additionally, we discovered that the amount of dust in the air prior to the ictus influenced the severity of the aSAH. In contrast, other environmental parameters such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, wind speed, and cloud cover did not significantly impact the prevalence or severity of aSAH.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this is the first study to associate the severity of aSAH with atmospheric dust levels. Another key finding is the increased incidence of aneurysm ruptures on Mondays compared to Fridays.

出血天气：环境变化与颅内动脉瘤破裂的关系

各种研究试图将动脉瘤性蛛网膜下腔出血（aSAH）与环境因素联系起来，但结果不一致。方法回顾性收集2015年1月1日至2021年12月31日在我院就诊的所有aSAH患者的临床和人口学资料。结果我们的研究发现，动脉瘤破裂的发生在一周中的不同日子有显著差异，周一比周五发生的动脉瘤破裂更多。此外，我们还发现，暴风雨前空气中的粉尘量会影响aSAH的严重程度。相比之下，其他环境参数如大气压、温度、湿度、降雨量、风速和云量对aSAH的流行和严重程度没有显著影响。据我们所知，这是第一个将aSAH的严重程度与大气尘埃水平联系起来的研究。另一个重要发现是周一动脉瘤破裂的发生率比周五高。

期刊介绍： The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
