About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to better understand how chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) progresses and how patients are treated and cared for. The study focuses on three main questions:
1. What are the characteristics of patients with CSDH when they are diagnosed? 2. What treatments do patients with CSDH receive? 3. What are the outcomes for patients with CSDH, including their functional ability, cognitive health, and neurological status?
Participants will receive their usual standard treatment. As part of the study, they will complete a brief telephone interview three months after their treatment.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months following diagnosis
Functional outcome assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), a 6-point scale where 0 indicates no symptoms, higher scores reflect greater disability, and 6 represents death.
Secondary outcomes
Recurrence rate within 3 months following diagnosis

Mortality within 3 months following diagnosis
All-cause mortality.
Complications within 3 months following diagnosis
Complications after treatment of CSDH.
Duration of hospital stay
Total number of days admitted to the hospital for CSDH-related causes.
