Acute Subdural Hematoma Registry

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting and analyzing data from patients with Acute Subdural Hematoma to better understand the effects of different surgical treatments. This observational study focuses on comparing standard surgical options such as burr hole trephination, craniotomy, decompressive craniectomy, and a newer technique called Middle Meningeal Artery embolization. The goal is to evaluate how these procedures impact survival outcomes in trauma patients. The study gathers information retrospectively from the Methodist Dallas Medical Center Trauma Registry. Data collected includes patient demographics, diagnosis codes, injury details, surgical procedures, complications, laboratory results, and outcomes such as discharge status and mortality. This comprehensive data collection allows researchers to observe real-world treatment effects without altering patient care. Participants are trauma patients aged 18 years or older who have an acute subdural hematoma diagnosed by brain CT or MRI within 72 hours of injury. Researchers will review medical records and imaging to collect relevant information. The primary measurement is the total number of study sites and subjects over five years. There is no active treatment or intervention; instead, the study monitors and analyzes existing clinical data to improve understanding of surgical options and patient outcomes.
