Additional treatment after primary conservative treatment in patients with chronic subdural hematoma-A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common neurological condition and is typically treated with burr hole craniostomy. Nevertheless, conservative treatment may lead to spontaneous hematoma resolution in some patients. This study aims to describe the characteristics of patients who were treated conservatively without the eventual need for additional treatment.

Methods

Data were retrospectively collected from patients who were primarily treated conservatively in three hospitals in the Netherlands from 2008 to 2018. The Primary outcome was the nonnecessity of additional treatment within 3 months after the initial CSDH diagnosis. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with not receiving additional treatment.<
