Abstract
Introduction: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage has a high incidence, and morbidity. It has been suggested that a negative non-contrast CT head can rule out SAH if performed within 6 h of symptom onset. Research question: What is the sensitivity of CT head at ruling out SAH stratified by time-point, and what is the potential impact of omitting Lumbar Puncture (LP) from the diagnostic pathway?
