Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is the most common intracranial traumatic lesion that requires surgical intervention. Although there is extensive published research on acute subdural, there remains uncertainty regarding mortality risk and functional outcomes for patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of contemporary scoring systems in different age groups of ASDH patients to predict functional outcomes.
