In patients who present after 12 hours with a negative computed tomogram, formal cerebrospinal fluid spectophotometry will detect subarachnoid haemorrhage for the next two weeks with a reliability of 96%. Between the early diagnosis with the aid of computed tomography and the later diagnosis with the added benefit of spectophotometry in the period where computed tomograms become less reliable, it should be possible to diagnose most cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage correctly.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2004.023788","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,5]],"date-time":"2005-07-05T19:23:24Z","timestamp":1120591404000},"page":"470-473","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: guidance in making the correct diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"W A","family":"Liebenberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre, Haywards Heath , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Worth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre, Haywards Heath , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G B","family":"Firth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Olney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre, Haywards Heath , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J S","family":"Norris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre, Haywards Heath , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023042408411403300_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.72.2.211","article-title":"Incidence and case fatality rate of stroke subtypes in a multiethnic population: the South London Stroke Register","volume":"72","author":"Wolfe","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"2023042408411403300_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.2165\/00019053-200321001-00005","article-title":"The economic burden of stroke in the United Kingdom","volume":"21","author":"Youman","year":"2003","journal-title":"Pharmaeconomics"},{"key":"2023042408411403300_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1234","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.38084.592639.AE","article-title":"Regional differences in outcome from subarachnoid haemorrhage: comparative audit","volume":"328","author":"Mitchell","year":"2004","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2023042408411403300_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"660","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.28.3.660","article-title":"Case fatality rates and functional outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a systematic review","volume":"28","author":"Hop","year":"1997","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"issue":"29","key":"2023042408411403300_R5","first-page":"1","article-title":"Incidence, aetiology, and prognosis of primary subarachnoid haemorrhage.
