ABSTRACT
Introduction. Subdural Hematoma (SDH) is one of the most common causes of death in neurological emergencies. This occurs because of the mechanism of injury caused by bleeding in the cerebrum. Red cell distribution width(RDW) is one of the erythrocyte profile markers that shows the uniform distribution of circulating erythrocyte sizes. SDH conditions require a fast response so that the treatment carried out becomes more effective and efficient.
Methods. This study is a retrospective observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The data obtained in this study is secondary data taken from the medical records of the neurology inpatient installation of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar which carried out for a complete blood count in the period July 2018 - August 2021. The existing data were then described and analyzed using the SPSS version 24.
Results: There were 96 subjects with SDH in the Neurology Inpatient Installation at Prof. dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar for the period July 2018 – August 2021. Researchers compared the outcome characteristics of the survivor and non-survivor groups which included gender, etiology, and RDW level status. Comparisons were also made in the trauma and non-trauma groups.
Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the outcome characteristics of the survivor and non-survivor groups which included gender, etiology, and RDW levels in general as well as in the comparison of the traumatic and non-traumatic groups.
