Background: Loss to follow-up (LTF) and unplanned readmission are barriers to recovery after acute subdural hematoma evacuation. The variables associated with these postdischarge events are not fully understood.
Objective: To determine factors associated with LTF and unplanned readmission, emphasizing socioeconomic status (SES).
Background: Acute subdural hematoma is a neurosurgical emergency. Thrombocytopenia poses a management challenge for these patients. We aimed to determine the impact of thrombocytopenia on preoperative hemorrhage expansion and postoperative outcomes.
