Angiograms were re-evaluated to detect aneurysms with growth of at least 1.0 mm. Cox regression analysis with patient- and aneurysm-related risk factors was used to calculate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for growth. In addition, we tested the diagnostic value of previously introduced PHASES score for the prediction of sIA growth in Eastern Finnish population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 350 unruptured aneurysms, 36 (10.3%) showed growth during median follow-up of 1.7 yr and total follow-up of 790 yr. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, sIA size and location in the middle cerebral artery were significant risk factors for sIA growth. In receiver operator characteristic curves, both PHASES score and sIA size had relatively low areas under the curve.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study indicates that aneurysm size is the strongest risk factor for aneurysm growth in Eastern Finnish population.
