INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage has a high incidence, and morbidity. It has been suggested that a negative non-contrast CT head can rule out SAH if performed within 6 h of symptom onset. RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the sensitivity of CT head at ruling out SAH stratified by time-point, and what is the potential impact of omitting Lumbar Puncture (LP) from the diagnostic pathway? MATERIAL AND METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPEROID CRD42022379929). Three databases were searched, and articles published between January 2000-May 2022 included (Search date 27th November 2022). Primary objective was diagnostic accuracy of CT scans for detecting SAH at |
