Inflammatory Risk Factors for Chronic Subdural Hematoma in a Nationwide Cohort
Although head trauma was a risk factor for CSDH, the absolute risk was low (0.18%), which does not support preventive measures after emergency room contacts for head trauma. Interestingly, pro-and anti-inflammatory factors were significantly associated with CSDH in patients without registered head trauma, and the pronounced age-dependency of the associations suggests that the pathophysiological mechanisms vary with age.
