Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the long-term effects of surgical treatment for chronic subdural hematoma on patient mortality, cognition, and quality of life.
  • Population-matched cohort study design
  • Assessment of long-term mortality
  • Evaluation of cognitive function
  • Measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
  • Follow-up conducted 10 years post-surgery
  • Patients had sustained excess mortality 10 years after cSDH surgery
  • Significant deficits in quality of life were observed in the cohort
  • Findings indicate a need for structured rehabilitation post-surgery

Abstract

In this population-matched cohort study, patients surgically treated for cSDH experienced sustained excess mortality and clinically relevant HRQoL deficits 10 years after surgery. These findings call for structured postoperative and rehabilitative care beyond the acute phase.
