Towards integrative decision support systems for personalised brain aneurysm rupture risk assessment and treatment.

When considered separately from other cardiovascular diseases, stroke ranks third among all causes of death, after heart disease and cancer.Worldwide, 3 million women and 2.5 million men die each year from stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel, typically an aneurysm, ruptures inside the brain. This often leads to severe disability or death. Despite considerable advances in treatment, rupture is associated with exceptionally high levels of morbidity and mortality - about 33% in each case.

Currently, invasive or minimally invasive treatment is offered to almost all patients because there is insufficient evidence to support a decision of nonintervention. It is the primary thesis of @neurIST that the process of cerebral aneurysm diagnosis, treatment planning and development is significantly compromised by the fragmentation of relevant data.To address this issue, @neurIST is developing a complete IT infrastructure for the management and processing of heterogeneous data associated with the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral aneurysms.

@neurIST will transform the management of cerebral aneurysms by providing new insight, personalised risk assessment and methods for the design of improved medical devices and treatment protocols.
