Abstract
Aim: In our study, we investigated the incidence, demographic, and clinical characteristics of patients who were diagnosed with Epidural Hematoma (EH). Thus, we aim to contribute to the definition of risk classification and prognostic factors.
Material and Methods: Patients who were admitted to the emergency department and diagnosed with EH over the age of 17 were screened retrospectively between January 1, 2020 and May 30, 2022. The demographic data, physiological parameters, the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), computed tomography scan result, treatment decision, and the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) of patients were analyzed. The Chi-square test was used to analyze categorical variables. The Spearman correlation test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Independent Sample test were used to analyze continuous variables. Based on significant factors in univariate analysis, a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated and The Area Under Curve (AUC) value was found. P
