A Comparative Analysis of Prognostic Factors for Functional Outcomes in Patients With Acute Subdural Hematoma

A Comparative Analysis of Prognostic Factors for Functional Outcomes in Patients With Acute Subdural Hematoma

Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is the most common intracranial traumatic lesion that requires surgical intervention. Although there is extensive published research on acute subdural, there remains uncertainty regarding mortality risk and functional outcomes for patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of contemporary scoring systems in different age groups of ASDH patients to predict functional outcomes.

Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is the most common intracranial traumatic lesion that requires surgical intervention. Although there is extensive published research on acute subdural, there remains uncertainty regarding mortality risk and functional outcomes for patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of contemporary scoring systems in different age groups of ASDH patients to predict functional outcomes. It is our belief that this research will provide valuable insights on the risk of mortality and functional outcomes for ASDH patients. Several clinical and radiologic factors have been identified within the general population that correlate with mortality rates and functional outcomes. There are a number of factors that must be considered in the evaluation of a patient with traumatic brain injury, and a comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine the best course of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

• surgery due to ASDH
• 12 months of follow-up
• functional outcome measured by the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE).

Exclusion Criteria:

• none
