  • *The patients were stratified into three groups according to the presence of two risk factors (NPAN-SAH and GCS 3–12): the low-risk group is without any of the two risk factors, intermediate-risk group only has one risk factor, and high-risk group has >1 risk factor.

  • GCS, Glasgow Coma Score; IR, incidence rate; N, total number in the corresponding group; n, number of events; NPAN-SAH, non-perimesencephalic angiogram-negative subarachnoid haemorrhage.
