Objective: The aim of the present study was to retrospectively analyze and investigate the clinical data of 704 cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) and unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). The risk factors predicting aneurysm rupture were explored from the perspective of the clinical characteristics of intracranial aneurysm (IA).
Methods: The clinical data of 704 patients with RIAs (494 patients) and UIAs (210 patients) admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital and Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital between January 2016 and May 2022 were analyzed. A detailed analysis of sex, age, history, personal history, drug intake, and site of aneurysm occurrence was performed. Age was analyzed in segments and strata, and parameters with significant differences in the preliminary analysis results were analyzed by logistic regression to predict factors associated with the risk of aneurysm rupture.
Results: Among 494 patients with RIA (70.2%) and 210 patients with UIA (29.8%), the logistic regression showed that IA location appeared to be the most significant factor associated with RIA (OR, 95% CI: internal carotid artery (ICA), reference; anterior communicating artery,27.864,12.548-61.878; posterior communicating artery,12.408,6.658-23.124; anterior cerebral artery,5.804,2.333-14.440; middle cerebral artery,9.284,4.599-18.744; posterior circulation arteries, 4.224,2.011-8.871). Age was not a significant factor associated with RIA in the model and Hyperlipidemia (OR: 0.365; 95% CI: 0.171-0.779), Atherosclerosis (OR: 0.277; 95% CI: 0.172-0.446) and Multiple aneurysms (OR: 0.275; 95% CI: 0.177-0.425) patients were less likely to have RIA.IA location and age were the best predictors of RIA using the model.
Conclusions: The present findings indicated that hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis have a protective effect on aneurysm rupture, and different anatomical sites of IA may be risk factors for the occurrence of IA rupture. Among the anatomical sites of IA, the anterior communicating artery and posterior communicating artery have a higher fracture risk.
