Aim:In the present study, we evaluated the association of
the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and amount of blood
loss with mortality in patients presenting with traumatic acute
subdural hematoma (ASDH). Material and Methods:This retrospective study was
performed on 99 patients who were operated for traumatic
acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) without any systemic
association at a single center. Epidural hematoma was
reported to be the most common additional pathology. Age,
sex, mechanism of trauma, time interval between onset of
trauma and admission to the emergency ward, associated
problems, thickness of hematoma and Glasgow Coma Scale
(GCS) score at the time of admission and on discharge were
all studied. Results:The GCS score was inversely proportional to the
thickness of hematoma and interval between onset of trauma
and surgery (p<0.05). Although the mortality rate was reported
to be high in traffic accidents, the rate was low in patients
with head trauma only (p<0.05). The mortality rate was high in
patients with associated pathologies (p<0.05). Lost patients
were reported to be older patients with more extensive ASDH
or those who presented earlier with a low GCS (p<0.05). Conclusion:ASDH is associated with high mortality. GCS
score and the thickness of the ASDH are important predictors
of mortality. Age, additional trauma, and interval between
trauma and hospital admission are major predictive factors for
mortality.
