BACKGROUND
Chronic subdural haematoma causes serious morbidity and mortality. It recurs after surgical evacuation in 5-30% of patients. Drains might reduce recurrence but are not used routinely. Our aim was to investigate the effect of drains on recurrence rates and clinical outcomes.
METHODS
We did a randomised controlled trial at one UK centre between November, 2004, and November, 2007. 269 patients aged 18 years and older with a chronic subdural haematoma for burr-hole drainage were… CONTINUE READING

Interventional Clinical Trial
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) is one of the most common bleedings of the head. These
hematomas develop after minor head trauma and increase in size over weeks. Patients usually… Expand
