Summary

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the extravasation of blood into the subarachnoid space from traumatic or nontraumatic origin. There is a paucity of data on the burden of SAH in African countries. In this study, we analyzed data from patients in the largest neurovascular center in Senegal to determine the sex- and age-adjusted burden of SAH in Senegal.

Patient data were stored in a password-protected Excel spreadsheet, and this spreadsheet was stored on a hard drive. Only the authors had access to the data.
