Résumé
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) presents significant management challenges in neurosurgical practice, with recurrence being a notable postoperative consideration. This study aimed to evaluate the Relative Cortical Atrophy (RCA) Index as a predictor of recurrence after CSDH surgery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 patients who underwent surgical evacuation for unilateral CSDH. The RCA Index was calculated using pre- and postoperative cranial imaging, correlating it with patient demographics, hematoma characteristics, and recurrence. Inter-rater reliability among measurements by 4 independent physicians was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Correlation and regression analyses were performed to identify the correlation of the RCA Index with other factors and their potential predicting power of CSDH recurrence, respectively. The study population had a mean age of 74.1 (11.9) years, with a 23.5% (23 patients) recurrence rate of CSDH. The ICC analysis showed excellent inter-rater reliability for RCA Index measurements (ICC: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-0.998, P < .001). A higher preoperative RCA Index was significantly associated with recurrence (0.215 [0.031] in the recurrent group vs 0.125 [0.034] in the nonrecurrent group, P < .001). The preoperative RCA Index highly correlated with the postoperative RCA Index (Pearson's correlation: 0.918, P < .001), and there was only a small (average: 0.005) but significant increase in the RCA Index of the unaffected hemisphere after surgery (P = .01).The preoperative RCA Index positively correlated with age, preoperative SDH thickness and volume, and recurrence. A RCA Index cutoff value of 0.165 predicted CSDH recurrence with high sensitivity (95.6%) and specificity (93.3%) (area under the curve = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1). The RCA Index is a simple yet robust predictor of CSDH recurrence. Incorporating this measure into the preoperative assessment may enhance surgical planning and postoperative management, potentially reducing recurrence rates.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) presents significant management challenges in neurosurgical practice, with recurrence being a notable postoperative consideration. This study aimed to evaluate the Relative Cortical Atrophy (RCA) Index as a predictor of recurrence after CSDH surgery.
METHODS
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 patients who underwent surgical evacuation for unilateral CSDH. The RCA Index was calculated using pre- and postoperative cranial imaging, correlating it with patient demographics, hematoma characteristics, and recurrence. Inter-rater reliability among measurements by 4 independent physicians was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Correlation and regression analyses were performed to identify the correlation of the RCA Index with other factors and their potential predicting power of CSDH recurrence, respectively.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The study population had a mean age of 74.1 (11.9) years, with a 23.5% (23 patients) recurrence rate of CSDH. The ICC analysis showed excellent inter-rater reliability for RCA Index measurements (ICC: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-0.998, P < .001). A higher preoperative RCA Index was significantly associated with recurrence (0.215 [0.031] in the recurrent group vs 0.125 [0.034] in the nonrecurrent group, P < .001). The preoperative RCA Index highly correlated with the postoperative RCA Index (Pearson's correlation: 0.918, P < .001), and there was only a small (average: 0.005) but significant increase in the RCA Index of the unaffected hemisphere after surgery (P = .01).The preoperative RCA Index positively correlated with age, preoperative SDH thickness and volume, and recurrence. A RCA Index cutoff value of 0.165 predicted CSDH recurrence with high sensitivity (95.6%) and specificity (93.3%) (area under the curve = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1).
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The RCA Index is a simple yet robust predictor of CSDH recurrence. Incorporating this measure into the preoperative assessment may enhance surgical planning and postoperative management, potentially reducing recurrence rates.
