Featured Article: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Type 1 Diabetes A prospective cohort study of 4,083 patients with diabetes Miikka Korja, M.D., P.H.D., Lena M. Thorn, M.D., P.H.D., Stefanie Hägg, M.B., Jukka Putaala, M.D., P.H.D., Ron Liebkind, M.D., P.H.D., Valma Harjutsalo, P.H.D., Carol M.

STUDY OBJECTIVE • To estimate the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in type 1 diabetes Korja M. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:3754-3758
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS • Incidence of first-ever SAH events was analyzed using the nationwide Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy (FinnDiane) Study cohort Korja M. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:3754-3758
RESULTS • During the follow-up time of 36,680 person-years, 15 patients experienced an aneurysmal or nonaneurysmal SAH • Thus, the crude incidence of SAH was 40.9 per 100,000 person-years • One patient had a verified aneurysmal SAH • Four patients died suddenly of an SAH, which was most likely caused by an aneurysm Korja M. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:3754-3758
RESULTS • SAHs in 10 of 15 patients were classified as nonaneurysmal SAH • Thus, the crude incidence of nonaneurysmal SAH was 27.3 per 100,000 person-years • None of the nonaneurysmal SAHs were fatal Korja M. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:3754-3758
CONCLUSIONS • Incidence of nonaneurysmal SAH is high among patients with type 1 diabetes • Nonaneurysmal SAH is a distinct new microvascular complication in type 1 diabetes Korja M. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:3754-3758
