Acute subdural hematomas secondary to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage confer poor prognosis: a national perspective.

There is a 3.5% incidence of acute SDH in patients presenting with non-traumatic aSAH. Patients with SDH and aSAH have nearly double the mortality, higher rate of discharge to nursing home and rehabilitation, and a significantly lower rate of discharge to home and return to routine functioning. This information is useful in counseling and prognostication of patients with concomitant SDH and aSAH.
