  • Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a serious medical condition often treated surgically, but the long-term survival rates of patients are not well understood.
  • A study analyzed 121 patients who underwent surgery for CSDH, focusing on their mortality rates at various intervals and the impact of social factors, such as living arrangements.
  • Results indicated that older patients, particularly those living alone, had a higher risk of mortality within 12 months post-surgery, suggesting the importance of social determinants of health in patient outcomes and the need for further research in this area.
