    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue, with 2.5 million TBI-related ED visits in the U.S. in 2014.

    Older adults, particularly those aged 75 and older, have the highest rates of TBI-associated emergency department visits.

  • 3

    Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) incidence is increasing, especially among the elderly, due to aging populations and antithrombotic use.

  • 4

    Risk factors for developing CSDH after mild TBI include older age, male sex, and the use of antithrombotic agents.

    This study aims to identify risk factors for CSDH following mild TBI in older adults and develop a bedside prediction model.
