Operative neurosurgery for traumatic subdural hematoma: association between trauma center variation and patient outcomes
Significant variation exists between trauma centers in performing operative neurosurgery for traumatic SDH. The TCs more likely to perform surgery were associated with lower odds of inpatient mortality and higher odds of a favorable discharge. Consensus-based guidelines are needed to improve standardization in the care of patients with traumatic SDH.
