Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 with a diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm or those who have been ruled out through imaging.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of specific vascular conditions or those outside the age range of 18 to 80 may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the epidemiological factors associated with the formation, progression, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IA) in the Chinese population. By utilizing large-scale electronic medical records from multiple high-volume stroke centers, the study will analyze various exposures and their potential links to IA incidence. Patients diagnosed with IA or excluded through advanced imaging techniques will be included, and their data will be processed using natural language processing to extract relevant exposures. The goal is to enhance understanding of risk factors and inform future prospective research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved screening and prevention strategies for intracranial aneurysms, potentially reducing the incidence of fatal ruptures.
How similar studies have gone: While this study employs a novel approach by integrating multi-modal data from various centers, similar studies have shown success in identifying risk factors for aneurysms.
