It has often been claimed that subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a rare condition in the Middle East. A 7-1/2-year retrospective study was undertaken to substantiate or disprove this claim. It was found that although the condition is less common than the global average, it was not as rare as previously supposed. The pattern of distribution throughout the population, in terms of sex, was significantly different. The possible reasons for this are discussed.
人们常称蛛网膜下腔出血（SAH）在中东地区是一种罕见病症。开展了一项为期7年半的回顾性研究，以证实或反驳这一说法。结果发现，尽管该病症不如全球平均情况常见，但也不像之前认为的那么罕见。在整个人口中，按性别划分的分布模式存在显著差异。文中讨论了造成这种情况的可能原因。
