health ๐ฌ Aneurysm repair timing: what the science says ๐ค
Systematic review found no consistent link between aneurysm treatment timing and mortality or functional outcomes after aSAH. The research covered 20 reports involving 11,096 participant records, examining timing from under 6 hours to 15 days or more. Earlier repair did lower pretreatment rebleeding risk, especially in untreated or delayed cases. However, mortality studies showed mixed results, with one U-shaped pattern at around 32.6 hours. Current guidelines supporting early repair remain appropriate until more robust studies are done.
