Résumé

The incidence of traumatic acute subdural hematomas (ASDH) in the elderly is increasing. Despite surgical evacuation, these patients have poor survival and low rate of functional outcome, and surgical timing plays no clear role as a predictor. We investigated whether the timing of surgery had a major role in influencing the outcome in these patients. We retrospectively retrieved clinical and radiological data of all patients ≥70 years operated on for post-traumatic ASDH in a 3 year period in five Italian hospitals. Patients were divided into three surgical timing groups from hospital arrival: We included 136 patients. About 33% died as a result of the consequences of ASDH and among the survivors, only 24% were in good functional outcome at discharge. Surgical timing groups appeared different according to presenting the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GCS), which was on average lower in the An earlier surgery was offered to patients with worse clinical-radiological findings. Additionally, after stratification for GCS, it was not associated with better outcome. Among the radiological markers, preoperative midline shift was the strongest outcome predictor.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The incidence of traumatic acute subdural hematomas (ASDH) in the elderly is increasing. Despite surgical evacuation, these patients have poor survival and low rate of functional outcome, and surgical timing plays no clear role as a predictor. We investigated whether the timing of surgery had a major role in influencing the outcome in these patients.
METHODS METHODS
We retrospectively retrieved clinical and radiological data of all patients ≥70 years operated on for post-traumatic ASDH in a 3 year period in five Italian hospitals. Patients were divided into three surgical timing groups from hospital arrival:
RESULTS RESULTS
We included 136 patients. About 33% died as a result of the consequences of ASDH and among the survivors, only 24% were in good functional outcome at discharge. Surgical timing groups appeared different according to presenting the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GCS), which was on average lower in the
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
An earlier surgery was offered to patients with worse clinical-radiological findings. Additionally, after stratification for GCS, it was not associated with better outcome. Among the radiological markers, preoperative midline shift was the strongest outcome predictor.
