Positive or Negative Prognostic Factor for Epidural Hematoma?
sjtrem.biomedcentral.com
To our best knowledge, a typical epidural hematoma (EDP) prognosis is good if it is discovered quickly and managed. Therefore the presence of EDH is considered a positive prognostic sign in the Rotterdam, Stockholm, and the Helsinki CT scoring systems.
Khaki et al. stated that “in the Rotterdam scoring system, the presence of EDH was considered a negative sign and increased the risk of poor outcome”, surprisingly.
While we know that the absence of EDH is a negative prognostic indicator in the Rotterdam scoring system.
It is recommended to revise the analysis and reinterpret the results to ensure the accuracy of the study.
