Some factors related to surgical outcomes in patients with epidural hematoma due to trauma at Military Hospital 103
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluate several factors related to surgical outcomes in patients with traumatic epidural hematoma at Military Hospital 103. Method: The study was conducted according to the cross-sectional descriptive method combined with prospective. Conduct research on 68 patients with epidural hematoma due to trauma at Military Hospital 103 from January 2022 to June 2023. Follow-up patients 6 months after surgery. Research indicators include the GOS score 6 months after surgery and the relationship of the level of recovery after surgery with the factors of preoperative Glasgow score, preoperative limb paralysis, and displacement of the hematoma volume line on computed tomography, time from injury to surgery. Results: After 6 months, the rate of patients recovering well (GOS levels IV, V) was 91.2%. There was a relationship between the ability to recover after surgery based on the GOS scale and the preoperative Glasgow score, the degree of limb paralysis, the degree of midline displacement, the volume of hematoma, and the time from injury to surgery. Conclusion: Preoperative Glasgow score, degree of limb paralysis, degree of midline shift, hematoma volume, and time from injury to surgery are factors that affect surgical outcomes in patients with epidural hematoma due to trauma
