The clinical relevance of ABO blood type in 100 patients with acute subdural hematoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The correlation of depleted blood through midline shift in acute subdural hematoma remains the most reliable clinical predictor to date. On the other hand, patient's ABO blood type has a profound impact on coagulation and hemostasis. We conducted this study to evaluate the role of patient's blood type in terms of incidence, clinical course and outcome after acute subdural hematoma bleeding.

Methods

100 patients with acute subdural hematoma treated between 2010 and 2015 at the author's institution were included. Baseline characteristics and clinical findings including Glasgow coma scale, Glasgow outcome scale, hematoma volume, rebleeding, midline shift, postoperative seizures and the presence of anticoagulation were analyzed for their association with ABO blood type
