Patient-reported Outcome After Surgical Evacuation of Postoperative Spinal Epidural Hematomas at One-year Follow-up.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the National Swedish Spine Register (Swespine).

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of symptomatic spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) requiring reoperation on one-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in a large cohort of patients treated surgically for lumbar spinal stenosis.

Summary Of Background Data: Studies exploring the outcomes of reoperations after SSEH are scarce and often lack validated outcome measures.
