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.

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.
