Implication

Prospective cohort study reveals treatment outcomes and recurrence rates for chronic subdural haematoma in Northeastern Nigeria, highlighting surgical effectiveness.

Key Points

Surgical interventions improved outcomes significantly, with a mean follow-up showing substantial improvement in Markwalder grading.
Among 77 participants, 18.18% experienced recurrence, indicating that surgical management has challenges in this cohort.
Statistical analysis demonstrated no significant effect of anaesthesia type on surgical outcomes, emphasizing procedure effectiveness.
Conservative management was rarely used, as most patients underwent burr hole drainage to address chronic subdural haematoma.
