Subarachnoid hemorrhage in an isolated population. Incidence on the Faroes during the period 1962-1975.
In a retrospective study of a 14-year period (1962-1975) the annual incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was found to be 7.4 per 100,000 in an isolated population of about 40,000. The age-specific incidences in the age groups from 15-25 to 60 years are on the same level as found in Sweden, Roc...
