Implication

Retrospective case-control study shows improved surgical efficacy and lower recurrence rates for exhaustive drainage in chronic subdural hematoma patients.

Key Points

Exhaustive drainage improves surgical efficacy to 91.5%, significantly higher than 79.7% for fixed-time drainage.
The recurrence rate drops to 4.2% with exhaustive drainage, while it's 14.5% for fixed-time drainage.
Both groups showed improvement in Markwalder’s Grading Scale and Glasgow Coma Scale, with exhaustive drainage showing better results.
The incidence of complications was lower in the exhaustive drainage group at 9.9%, compared to 20.3% in the control group.
