Sixty-two cases of acute subdural hematoma were clinically analyzed with special reference to such prognostic factors as age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission, pupillary signs, decerebration, and initial computed tomography (CT) findings. Intraparenchymal lesions demonstrated by CT were evaluated according to Yamaura's classification. In 19 cases, serum fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) were measured at the time of admission. Emergency surgery was performed in 46 cases, and the remaining 16 patients were treated conservatively. The final outcome was judged according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale, and patients were divided into a "good outcome" group (good recovery or moderate disability) and a "poor outcome" group (severe disability, vegetative state, or death). In general, the outcomes proved to be unsatisfactory. Forty-four patients (71%) had a poor outcome, with 32/62 (52%) mortality, and only 18 (29%) had a good outcome. The clinical factors associated with a poor outcome were age over 64 years, a GCS score on admission of less than 7, decerebration, and absence of pupillary reaction to light. Initial CT scans showed brain damage in 46 patients (74%) , 39 (85%) of whom had a poor outcome. This indicates that the outcome was significantly related to brain injury complicating the acute subdural hematoma. A high serum FDP level was similarly related to a poor outcome, which suggests that the serum FDP level reflects the degree of both primary and secondary brain injury. Thus, measurement of serum FDP may be valuable both in assessing clinical status and in evaluating the extent of brain injury in acute subdural hematoma.
