Impact of surgical timing on chronic subdural hematoma outcomes: novel insights from a multicenter study
This is the first study to identify a specific surgical timing cut-off in the treatment of mildly symptomatic CSDH associated with improved clinical outcomes and recovery, offering a potential reference point for clinical decision-making. Patients who underwent surgery within three days from hospital admission exhibited significantly better postoperative neurological outcomes and shorter hospital stays. Surgical timing did not influence postoperative complications, including hematoma recurrence or the need for early reintervention.
