Surgical management was not clearly linked with Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale in elderly patients with traumatic subdural haematoma (58% vs. 60% 6-month survival).

Surgical management was not clearly linked with mortality in humans (geriatric low energy open ankle fracture).
“However, no surgical modality had any influence on short-term readmission or survival.”
