Incidence, predictors, and management of postoperative subdural empyema following chronic subdural hematoma evacuation: a population-based cohort study
A larger CSDH diameter and Cloxacillin prophylaxis significantly increased the risk of postoperative SDE. Craniotomy was more effective than burr-hole evacuation for SDE management, and one-year mortality was not elevated in patients who developed an SDE.
