Frailty Is Associated With Decreased Survival in Adult Patients With Nonoperative and Operative Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 381,754 Patients
Objective:. We investigated frailty’s impact on traumatic subdural hematoma (tSDH), examining its relationship with major complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), mortality, high level of care discharges, and survival probabilities following nonoperative and operative management. Background:. D...

| description | Objective:. We investigated frailty’s impact on traumatic subdural hematoma (tSDH), examining its relationship with major complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), mortality, high level of care discharges, and survival probabilities following nonoperative and operative management.
Background:. Despite its frequency as a neurosurgical emergency, frailty’s impact on tSDH remains underexplored. Frailty characterized by multisystem impairments significantly predicts poor outcomes, necessitating further investigation.
Methods:. A retrospective study examining tSDH patients ≥18 years and assigned an abbreviated injury scale score ≥3, and entered into ACS-TQIP between 2007 and 2020. We employed multivariable analyses for risk-adjusted associations of frailty and our outcomes, and Kaplan-Meier plots for survival probability.
Results:. Overall, 381,754 tSDH patients were identified by mFI-5 as robust—39.8%, normal—32.5%, frail—20.5%, and very frail—7.2%. There were 340,096 nonoperative and 41,658 operative patients. The median age was 70.0 (54.0–81.0) nonoperative, and 71.0 (57.0–80.0) operative cohorts. Cohorts were predominately male and White. Multivariable analyses showed a stepwise relationship with all outcomes P < 0.001; 7.1% nonoperative and 14.9% operative patients had an 20% to 46% increased risk of mortality, that is, nonoperative: very frail (HR: 1.20 [95% CI: 1.13–1.26]), and operative: very frail (HR: 1.46 [95% CI: 1.38–1.55]). There were precipitous reductions in survival probability across mFI-5 strata.
Conclusion:. Frailty was associated with major complications, LOS, mortality, and high level care discharges in a nationwide population of 381,754 patients. While timely surgery may be required for patients with tSDH, rapid deployment of point-of-care risk assessment for frailty creates an opportunity to equip physicians in allocating resources more precisely, possibly leading to better outcomes. |
