Management outcome of epidural hematoma patients at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital: one-year prospective observational study

The majority of patients experienced favorable clinical outcomes. Outcomes of epidural hematoma management significantly associations with the mechanism of injury, presence of aspiration, prior headache history, Glasgow Coma Scale score, hypotension, elevated intracranial pressure, pupillary abnormalities, focal neurological deficits, and traumatic brain injury severity. Implementing context-specific policy interventions, enhanced safety protocols, and targeted public education initiatives could substantially reduce the incidence and impact of epidural hematomas in Ethiopia.
