The clinical relevance of ABO blood type in 100 patients with acute subdural hematoma.

The ABO blood type has significant influence on acute subdural hematoma sequelae. Patient's with blood type O benefit in their clinical course after acute subdural hematoma whereas blood type A patients are at highest risk for increased midline shift and postoperative seizures. Further studies elucidating the biological mechanisms of blood type depended hemostaseology and its role in acute subdural hematoma are required for the development of an appropriate intervention.
