Review Meta Analysis
Predictors for rupture of small (<7mm) intracranial aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Identifying predictors for rupture of small intracranial aneurysms (sIAs) have become a growing topic in the literature given the relative paucity of data on their natural history. The authors performed a meta-analysis to identify reliable predictors. ⋯ Morphology related predictors are superior to the classic patient demographic predictors present in most scoring systems. Given that morphology predictors take time to measure, our findings may be of great interest to developers seeking to incorporate artificial intelligence into the treatment decision-making process.
