Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to contribute to the literature by determining data such as mortality rates, demographic, clinical and radiological characteristics of patients who applied to our hospital's emergency department between January 2011 and December 2020 with the diagnosis of SISH and were operated on in our clinic.
Methods:53 patients who were operated on for SISH diagnosis between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively examined. Patients with SISH on brain tomography (CT) were evaluated. Hematoma localization is lobar; those with frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital locations; Those in the thalamic, putaminal and basal ganglia were considered to be deeply located. Patients were divided into three groups according to the Glasgow coma score (GCS): GCS 5–8, GCS 9–12, and GCS 13–15.
Results: In our cohort, the patients mean age was 62.8 years (range, 19–92). The overall mortality rate was 62.87%. Age showed no significant association with mortality. Mortality was associated with increased hematoma volume and low GCS score at the first presentation (p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, hematoma volume was an important predictor of surgical outcome; the optimal cut-off value of 59.5 cm3 was associated with 84.4% sensitivity and 90.5% specificity (p < 0.001). Similarly, the optimal GCS score cut-off value of 8.5 was associated with a 96.9% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity for predicting mortality (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:Low GCS, increased hematoma volume, and especially the presence of concomitant hypertension (HT) are associated with poor prognosis in SISH patients.
