We would like to congratulate Nicholson et al. on their highly interesting work on the declining rate of SAH in the Irish population. This will certainly provide some very interesting points. Also in Germany there is - at least subjectively - the phenomenon of the declining rate of SAH. The authors can establish a clear correlation to the decline in the smoking rate. Now the question arises whether this is the only relevant correlation. In particular, it would certainly be necessary to investigate whether there has been an increased rate of detection of unruptered Aneurysma and an increasing rate of treatment of those during the study period and whether this may also have a relevant influence on the decrease in SAH.
