Dates and Times

Start: 5/8/2026 8:00 AM
End: 5/8/2026 9:00 AM

Objectives

1. Critically evaluate the reported epidemiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), recognizing the significant limitations of low-quality studies and understanding the true temporal trends in SAH incidence
2. Analyze the central role of female smokers in the epidemiology of SAH and unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), and discuss why this high-risk group challenges current screening strategies and paradigms.
3. Explain why sporadic aneurysmal SAH is primarily a non-genetic disease and why familial screening for intracranial aneurysms is poorly justified on a genetic basis alone.
