Table 2_Endoscopic-Assisted evacuation vs. burr-hole drainage for chronic subdural hematom

A retrospective cohort study compares perioperative outcomes for two surgical methods to treat chronic subdural hematoma. The analysis includes 40 patients who underwent endoscopic-assisted evacuation and 158 who underwent burr-hole drainage at Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital. Outcomes evaluated include residual hematoma rates, neurological recovery, operative time, costs, and complications.

Use Cases

• Compare residual hematoma rates between endoscopic-assisted evacuation and burr-hole drainage based on the reported 35.00% vs. 54.78% rates.
• Analyze the association between surgical method and neurological outcomes based on the reported odds ratio of 0.30 for a good functional outcome.
• Evaluate the trade-off between clinical benefit and resource use based on reported longer operative times and higher hospitalization costs for the endoscopic method.

Strengths

• The study includes 198 total patient cases (40 endoscopic, 158 burr-hole), providing a basis for comparison.
• Results report specific, statistically significant metrics, such as a 40.12-minute longer average operative time for endoscopy.
• Analysis includes multiple regression to control for confounding factors when assessing neurological outcomes.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single hospital, which may limit generalizability.
