    One in five aSAH survivors experiences long-term psychological issues, including anxiety and depression, impacting quality of life.

  • 3

    A scoring system was developed to stratify aSAH patients into low, medium, and high-risk categories for post-treatment depression.

    The study validated the scoring system on a cohort of 514 patients, revealing a 29.6% prevalence of chronic depression.
