Late results and health-related quality of life in patients after endovascular treatment for multiple intracranial aneurysms by A. A. Oleinik, N. E. Ivanova, S. A. Goroshchenko, E. A. Oleinik, A. Yu. Ivanov

“…When assessing the health-related quality of life according to the SF-36 domains in patients with Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the QoL showed a decrease in “Social Functioning” (p = 0.03). In patients with pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) a decrease was seen in “Role-Physical Functioning” (RP) (p = 0.004), while “General Health” (GH) (p = 0.049), “Social Functioning” (SF) (p = 0.005) and “Mental Health” (MH) (p = 0.009) subscales also saw decreases. …”
