628. Preoperative Risk Score Predicts 30-day Mortality Following Emergency Surgery for Intracranial Hemorrhage

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Reddy Rahmani, a neurosurgery resident at the University of Rochester, presents their work on developing a risk score for predicting 30-day mortality in patients requiring emergency surgery for intracranial hemorrhage, specifically subdural hematomas. They analyzed a large surgical database and identified seven significant factors that could predict mortality, including age, comorbidities, and anticoagulant use. They created a scoring system based on these factors and found that a score of six or higher indicated a high risk of mortality. The scoring system needs further validation and may have relevance in other emergency surgeries. The video mentions Sam Tomlinson and Dr. Bates as project collaborators.
