National reduction in cerebral arteriovenous malformation treatment correlated with increased rupture incidence

Conclusions
After 2014, the likelihood of intervention for unruptured AVMs decreased while the incidence of ruptured AVMs increased. These findings suggest that fewer unruptured AVM treatments may lead to increases in AVM rupture incidence.
