Surgical management outcome and associated factor of chronic subdural hematoma at Jimma University Tertiary Hospital south west Ethiopia: One year prospective observational study

Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common intracranial hemorrhages encountered in neurosurgical practice, particularly among the elderly. Although surgical evacuation is the standard treatment, postoperative outcomes may be influenced by clinical and perioperative factors. This study aimed to assess the three-month surgical outcome and associated factors among patients operated for CSDH at Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia
