The impact of time from injury to surgery in functional recovery of traumatic acute subdural hematoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The time from injury to surgery (TIS) is critical in the functional recovery of individuals with traumatic acute subdural hematoma (TASDH). However, only few studies have confirmed such notion. METHODS:The data of TASDH patients who were surgically treated in Chia-Yi Christian Hospital between January 2008 and December 2015 were collected. The significance of variables, including age, sex, traumatic mechanism, coma scale, midline shift on brain computed tomography (CT) scan, and TIS, in functional recovery was assessed using the student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, univariate and multivariate models, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS:A total of 37 patients achieved functional recovery (outcome scale score of 4 or 5) and 33 patients had
