    Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has a 12-month mortality rate of 15-20%, comparable to certain cancers.

  • 2

    Frailty, characterized by multiple system deterioration, is linked to increased mortality in CSDH patients.

  • 3

    CSDH is particularly prevalent in the elderly, with incidence rates rising significantly with age.

  • 4

    The study aims to assess long-term mortality rates in CSDH patients and the association of frailty with mortality.

  • 5

    Frailty can potentially be improved, which may lead to reduced mortality rates in patients with CSDH.
