1
All continuous measures are shown as mean (SD). Glasgow coma scale score and aneurysm size shown as median (25thile, 75thile). Categorical variables shown as n(%).
2
Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation score.
3
P value representative of Fisher’s exact test or Chi square test for categorical variables and Independent t – test for continuous variables, with the exception of aneurysm size and Glasgow Coma Scale for which Mann-Whitney U test was performed.
