Disability-adjusted Life Years in a Senegalese Cohort of Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Association of Future African Neurosurgeons, Yaounde, Cameroon388 enrolled

Overview

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.

The Fann Teaching Hospital (Dakar, Senegal) institutional review board authorized this study. Consent was obtained from adult patients and the parents/legal guardians of children. 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.
