The factors that influence whether SAH develops, however, remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether clinical characteristics and imaging findings are different in patients with siVAD with SAH compared to those with siVAD without SAH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The authors conducted a retrospective, single-institution study involving patients in whom siVAD developed with or without SAH, between July 2003 and November 2010. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate clinical characteristics and MR angiography findings. The vertebral-union-basilar angle (VUBA) was defined as the most acute angle between line of the basilar artery trunk and line of the vertebral angle (VA) at the vertebral union on 3D MR angiograms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Among 58 patients with siVAD, 21 developed SAH. The presence of siVAD and SAH was significantly associated with higher rates of current smoking (OR 13; 95% CI 3.6\u201338; p &lt; 0.0001), dissection of the dominant VA (OR 9.2; 95% CI 2.5\u201319; p = 0.0004), and unruptured supratentorial nondissecting saccular aneurysms (OR 11; 95% CI 2.1\u201319; p = 0.0025), and the VUBA of the dominant VA was significantly larger (p &lt; 0.0001, univariate analysis). Multivariate analysis showed that these differences were still significant (p &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A larger VUBA of the dominant VA, the presence of unruptured supratentorial nondissecting saccular aneurysms, and current smoking may be factors that predict which patients with siVAD will develop SAH by dominant VAD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2011.2.jns101708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,18]],"date-time":"2011-03-18T14:24:28Z","timestamp":1300458268000},"page":"108-112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Comparison
