O. Box 2925, 11461, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia aut The difference in the outcome of surgery for traumatic extradural hematoma between patients who are admitted directly to the neurosurgical unit and those referred from another hospital [Elektronische Daten] [Abdulhakim Jamjoom] In this study of 120 cases that had surgery for traumatic extradural hematoma (EDH) at Frenchay Hospital, England, between 1975 and 1987, the author attempts to outline the influence on the outcome of surgery for EDH of whether the patient is admitted directly to the neurosurgical unit or via another hospital. Only 15% of the patients were admitted directly, while 85% were referred. The results show that although the directly admitted patients included significantly more unconscious patients exhibiting clinical signs of herniation, their outcome was not significantly worse. Therefore, in support of previous reports, it is recommended that all head injured patients be admitted to the primary care of neurosurgeons.
