Studies on risk factors for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) show heterogeneity. For example, hypertension has been found to be a significant risk factor in some studies but not in others. The authors hypothesized that differences in the ethnicity of the populations studied could account for these findings.
METHODS
A metaanalysis was performed using 17 case-control and 10 cohort studies that met specified inclusion criteria. The authors used a random-effect model to calculate the pooled…

Hypertension and cigarette smoking increase the risk for development of SAH, however, the increased risk persists even after cessation of cigarette smoking, which suggests the importance of early abstinence from smoking.

It is concluded that smoking, hypertension, and alcohol abuse are important risk factors for SAH and reduction of exposure to these risk factors might result in a decreased incidence of SAH.

Hypertension and cigarette smoking seem to be independent risk factors for SAH in Japan, and the high prevalence of hypertension in both sexes and thehigh prevalence of cigarette smoking in men in the general population might contribute to the high incidence of SAH.

Current cigarette smoking, history of hypertension, frequent alcohol use, lower body mass index, and a family history of a relative with SAH or intracranial aneurysm were found to be significant, independent risk factors for SAH.
