Background: Subdural hematoma (SDH) complications typically result from the rupture of bridging veins traversing the subdural space. The chronic type of subdural hematoma has a more favorable prognosis if managed properly. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of chronic subdural hematoma and its associated factors in Kashan city from 2016 to 2022.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted on 172 patients with chronic subdural hematoma between 2016 and 2022. Convenience sampling was used, and patient data were extracted from their hospital records using a checklist. Data analysis was performed using descriptive tests (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential tests (Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, T-test, and ANOVA).
Findings: 127 patients (73.8%) were male, and the majority were over 60 years old (72.1%). The average hospitalization period was approximately 8 days, and most patients reported symptoms lasting less than a month (55.8%). No significant association was found between various variables and the type or outcome of subdural hematoma (P > 0.05). The trend in the number of hematoma cases was increasing from 2016 to 2019, decreasing from 2020 to 2021, and rising again in 2022.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of raising public awareness regarding the symptoms of subdural hematoma, particularly among individuals over 60 and those with pre-existing health conditions. Screening programs should be implemented to enable early detection of this condition and to manage associated underlying diseases.
