On this page
Brain Aneurysm Wiki summarizes published evidence on brain aneurysm so that a reader can see what is known, how well it is known, and where the evidence comes from. This policy explains how pages are written, checked and kept current.
Sources
Pages draw on the strongest evidence available for each question. In rough order of preference, that means systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical guidelines, large cohort studies, then smaller case series and case reports where nothing stronger exists. Major clinical references, such as academic hospital patient guides, are used for basic definitions.
Each source is cited by number beside the statement it supports. The full reference list, with links, sits at the end of every page, and the research page lists the main studies with their size, design and limitations.
How evidence is reported
Numbers come with their context: how many patients, out of how many, and in what kind of study. For many of the conditions covered on these sites, most of the evidence comes from case reports and retrospective series. Those studies describe what happened to published patients. They can't tell an individual reader how likely a treatment is to work for them, and the pages say so where it matters.
When studies disagree, the page describes both findings and the reasons they might differ. When newer research has replaced an older, widely quoted figure, the page gives both and explains the change.
Writing and editing
Pages are researched and written by the site's editorial team and edited by Dr. Kamran Aghayev, who has the final say on what is published.
How we write
Pages use plain language and define each medical term the first time it appears. They describe conditions and treatments; they don't diagnose readers or recommend a treatment for a particular person. Where a symptom needs urgent attention, the page says so directly.
Medical review
A page marked "Medically reviewed" has been checked in full by Dr. Aghayev on the date shown. If the page later changes in a way that affects its medical content, the mark is removed until he reviews it again. Pages without the mark have been edited but haven't yet had that full clinical check.
Clinical opinion
Boxes headed "Dr. Kamran Aghayev's view" contain his clinical opinion, in words he has approved. Everything outside those boxes summarizes published evidence. Keeping the two apart lets readers see where a practicing surgeon's judgment goes beyond what studies have shown.
Updates
New research on brain aneurysm is tracked as it is published. A page is updated when a study changes what it should say. The "Updated" date on each page marks the last change to its content, not routine fixes to layout or links.
Corrections
Readers can report errors to editor@brainaneurysm.wiki. Every report is checked against the cited sources, and confirmed errors are fixed promptly. A correction that changes the content of a page also changes its "Updated" date. See the corrections page.
Images
Every image carries a credit. Clinical images are used only with the patient's consent and with identifying details removed. Anatomical diagrams are drawn for the site from published anatomy.
Advertising and relationships
The site carries no advertising, sponsorship, affiliate links or paid placements. It is a project by Dr. Aghayev, who treats patients with conditions covered here. The About page explains that relationship and how the site keeps evidence and opinion apart.
