Abstract

Outcome of patient with EDH relays on variables like GCS at first presentation, hematoma size/volume, age of patient, etc. This study was carried out to find out correlation between outcome and various factors affecting it. Aim and objectives of this study were to study outcome of patients with EDH. This study was carried out in SVP hospital, Ahmedabad including 70 patients.30 patients were operated. On admission, majority of patients had GCS of >8 on presentation. Assessment was done at time of discharge and on monthly basis. At 3rd month, 52 patients had GOS 5, 4 patient had GOS 4, 2 patients had GOS 3 and 1 patient died. Out of 52 patients having GOS 5, 12 patient had GCS 13-15 at time of admission, 40 had GCS 9-12 at time of admission. Out of 4 patients having GOS 4, 3 patient had GCS 9-12 at time of admission and 1 patient had GCS 3-8 at time of admission.2 patient having GOS 3, both had GCS 3-8 at time of admission.45 patients had EDH volume <30 ml and all patients had GOS 5. 13 patients had EDH volume ≥30 ml, among them, 7 patients had GOS 5, 4 patients had GOS 4 and 2 patient had GOS 3.Total 7 patient had died all had EDH volume ≥30 ml.GOS in EDH patient is affected by GCS and EDH volume at presentation. RTA is most common cause of EDH. Lower GCS and larger EDH volume have poor outcome.
