Recurrence prediction in chronic subdural hematomas: a risk stratification score based on 118 consecutive patients
Hyperdense appearance, homogeneous or separated Nakaguchi-configuration and presence of cortical atrophy are predictive features of CSDH recurrence and can be incorporated into a score. The proposed grading system provides an effective preoperative tool for assessing CSDH recurrence risk, with a progressive increase in the recurrency rate between the three groups. This model enables personalized postoperative management, facilitating early identification of high-risk patients who may benefit from adjunctive treatments to reduce recurrence.
