Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Rupture risk should not be judged low by a diameter < 5 mm alone, since irregular morphology and high AR/SR strongly predict rupture (OR ~31/41/21). (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
When to use
Use for small aneurysms where PHASES discriminates poorly, weighting the three strong morphologic predictors plus clinical modifiers.
How it works
Core: irregular morphology, AR (height/neck) ≥ 1.6, SR (height/parent-artery) ≥ 2. ≥ 2 core → higher risk; 1 → intermediate. Modifiers: hypertension, non-ICA location, smoking.
Key points
- Rupture risk should not be judged low by a diameter < 5 mm alone, since irregular morphology and high AR/SR strongly predict rupture (OR ~31/41/21). (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
- It is derived from Chinese-population studies as a complement to PHASES for small aneurysms.
- High-risk morphology favors active assessment/treatment or shorter follow-up with vessel-wall imaging.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using Chinese Small-Aneurysm (≤ 5 mm) Rupture Risk (Morphologic)?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does Chinese Small-Aneurysm (≤ 5 mm) Rupture Risk (Morphologic) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is Chinese Small-Aneurysm (≤ 5 mm) Rupture Risk (Morphologic) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
