Analysis of clinical characteristics and surgical results in patients with chronic subdural hematoma in different ages / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical results of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in different age groups.@*Methods@#150 CSDH patients admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to January 2019 were selected as the research objects, and their clinical data were reviewed and collected. According to different age , they were divided into three groups: the <55 year old group (n=46), the 55-70 year old group (n=62), and the >70 year old group (n=42). The imaging examination results and clinical manifestations of three groups of patients in different age groups were compared. Combined with patients' wishes and surgical indications, 150 patients were treated with traditional burr hole and drainage and modified operation. The results of different operation methods in three groups were compared.@*Results@#The incidence of headache/dizziness in the 55-70 year old group was higher than that in >70 year old group (P<0.05). The incidence of language disorder in the 55-70 year old group and >70 year old group was higher than that in <55 year old group , with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The incidence of limb paralysis in the 55-70 year old group and the >70 year old group was higher than that in <55 years old group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The incidence of mental disorders in the >70 year old group was higher than that in 55-70 year old group and <55 year old group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The incidence of fecal incontinence in the >70 year old group was higher than that in 55-70 year old group and <55 years old group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The imaging examination results of the three groups showed significant differences (P<0.05). According to the estimation of the amount of hematoma by the Dutian (DOTA) formula, the amount of hematoma in the group of >70 years old was significantly higher than that in the group of <55 years old and 55-70 years old, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Among the three groups, the proportion of patients with good prognosis after modified operation was higher than that of traditional operation, and the recurrence rate was lower than that of traditional operation, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The proportion of good prognosis and recurrence rate in group >70 years old were lower than those in the group of <55 years old and 55-70 years old (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#CSDH patients of different ages have different characteristics in imaging examination results and clinical manifestations. Traditional burr hole drainage and modified operation can achieve certain results, but modified operation is more effective and can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, which is worth popularizing.
