Creating and validating a neurosurgical intervention rule-out tool for patients with mild traumatic brain injury and isolated subdural hematoma: a 5-year, six-center retrospective cohort study
In this study, the largest of its kind to date, the authors successfully developed and validated a new tool for ruling out the necessity of neurosurgical intervention in patients with mTBI and isolated SDH. By successfully identifying more than half of patients who are unlikely to require neurosurgery within the first 2 days of admission, this tool can be used to improve treatment efficiency and provide patients and clinicians with valuable prognostic information.
