Overall, 593 patients developed subarachnoid hemorrhage, and 703 underwent treatment before subarachnoid hemorrhage. Current or recent statin use was not associated with a difference in subarachnoid hemorrhage risk (odds ratio, 1.03; 95% conflict of interest 0.86-1.23); models stratified on tobacco use status were nearly identical. No association was observed between statin use and the composite outcome of subarachnoid hemorrhage or aneurysm treatment (odds ratio, 0.94; 95% conflict of interest, 0.84-1.06). The risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage or out-of-hospital death was lower among statin users (odds ratio, 0.69; 95% conflict of interest, 0.64-0.74).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Statin use by patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms was not associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage risk.
