“…This postoperative mortality rate is comparable to those reported in other studies with younger patients whose postoperative mortality rates ranged from 1.6% to 11.2%. 7,19,34,37 We attribute this relatively low mortality rate in our extremely elderly patients to their easy access to postoperative highdependency and intensive care unit beds in our hospitals. This allowed us to neurologically monitor our patients closely and to aggressively correct and normalize physiological and biochemical parameters postoperatively.…”

“…Chronic subdural hemorrhage (SDH) or hematoma is a predominantly neurological condition usually resulting from trauma and affecting elderly individuals. 2,3,14,19 Chronic SDH is not a benign condition and is regarded as a sentinel health event because of its high morbidity and mortality rates in older people.9,18 The treatment of choice for managing chronic SDHs is surgical drainage. 12,23 Large studies have shown that older age independently contributes to increased mortality and morbidity rates after the surgical drainage of chronic SDHs.…”

“…The analysis revealed a weighted average morbidity and mortality of SDH of 0.7% (95% CI 0.06-1; range 0-8) and 0.4% (95% CI 0.2-0.6; range 0-3), respectively [18,19,20,21]. Patients were confronted with a worst-case scenario of SDH by using not the upper 95% CI but the upper ranges, i.e.…”

“…O processo de atrofia cerebral constitui fator de risco significativo associado principalmente aos idosos e etilistas crônicos. Além disso, traumatismos cranioencefálicos prévios, mesmo de leve intensidade, como quedas da própria altura, estão associados a aproximadamente 60% dos pacientes (4)(5)(6) . contradas em nosso serviço foi 86%, este dado é semelhante ao encontrado em um estudo recém publicado, realizado por Yang e Huang (2017) (7) , pesquisadores da Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, após revisão sistemática mostra que a incidência de HSDCr está aumentando, levantando a hipótese de que esse fato seja atribuído ao envelhecimento da população e crescente prevalência de uso de medicações antiagregante plaquetários e a anticoagulantes na população geral (7) .…”
