We collected data on demographics, clinical characteristics, surgical details, and outcome measures including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). Given the exploratory nature of this study and sample size constraints, we employed univariate analyses (independent t-tests, Mann\u2013Whitney U tests, and chi-square tests) to compare outcomes between groups based on onset timing and operative duration, with Spearman correlation analysis used to examine relationships between these factors and prognostic indicators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients with operative duration &amp;gt;60\u202fmin (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f99) had significantly higher postoperative GCS and KPS scores than those with \u226460\u202fmin (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.022 and 0.031, respectively).

These associations are likely confounded by baseline differences in patient status and surgical technique. Symptom-to-surgery interval and statin use did not significantly influence short-term prognosis. Larger prospective studies with multivariate adjustment are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2026.1741337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,7]],"date-time":"2026-05-07T04:51:13Z","timestamp":1778129473000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of onset timing and operative duration on outcomes in chronic subdural hematoma: an exploratory retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Liang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Chuzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University (Chuzhou First People's Hospital)","place":["Chuzhou, Anhui, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinjin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Chuzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University (Chuzhou First People's Hospital)","place":["Chuzhou, Anhui, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingpeng","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Chuzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University (Chuzhou First People's Hospital)","place":["Chuzhou, Anhui, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-011-0349-y","article-title":"The surgical management of chronic subdural hematoma","volume":"35","author":"Ducruet","year":"2012","journal-title":"Neurosurg Rev"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2020.06.140","article-title":"Updates in chronic subdural hematoma: epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and outcome","volume":"141","author":"Feghali","year":"2020","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108323","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2024.108323","article-title":"Advances in pathogenic mechanisms, diagnostic methods, surgical and non-surgical treatment, and potential recurrence factors of chronic subdural hematoma: a review","volume":"242","author":"Zhong","year":"2024","journal-title":"Clin Neurol Neurosurg"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nec.2016.11.002","article-title":"Chronic subdural hematoma: epidemiology and natural history","volume":"28","author":"Yang","year":"2017","journal-title":"Neurosurg Clin N Am"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"13","article-title":"Chronic subdural hematoma: a review of the literature.
