In a study, patients with poor [[Hunt and Hess Stroke Scale]], [[loss of consciousness]] at symptom onset, or largest [[intracranial aneurysm size]]s ≥5 mm in size showed a high [[mortality rate]]. A high number of [[treatment]] [[refusal]]s was present in this study. These findings have implications for medical insurance policy, doctor-patient communication, and popular science education
