Abstract
Patients (149) suffering from acute (112) and subacute (37) subdural hematomas admitted during the 10 yr period 1965-1974, with a follow-up period of 2-12 yr were presented. During the time of observation, 104 patients died and 45 survived; 73% of the patients with acute and 27% with subacute subdural hematomas died. Of the patients with an acute subdural hematoma, 11% went back to work, as against 32% of those with subacute subdural hematomas. The 5 yr survival rate was 28% in patients with acute and 76% in patients with subacute subdural hematomas.
