The acute surgery cohort had lower mean (SD) Glasgow Coma Scale scores (6.8 [4.4] vs 11.4 [4.6]), more pupil abnormalities (both pupils unreacting: 43 of 133 [32%] vs 41 of 477 [9%]), and fewer isolated ASDHs (eg, more with concurrent intracranial lesions; 92 of 133 [69%] vs 297 of 563 [53%%]) compared with the conservative treatment cohort. In the surgical cohort, 129 of 148 patients (87%) underwent decompressive craniectomy (DC), and 17 of 148 (11%) underwent craniotomy. In the conservative treatment cohort, 67 of 563 patients (12%) underwent delayed cranial surgery (DC or craniotomy). The proportion of patients undergoing acute surgery ranged from 0% to 86% (median, 17% [IQR, 5%-27%]) between centers, with up to a 3-fold higher probability of prognostically similar patients receiving acute surgery in one center compared with another random center (MOR, 2.95 [95% CI, 1.79-7.47]; P = .06). Center preference for acute surgery over initial conservative treatment was not associated with a better outcome (OR, 1.05 [95% CI, 0.88-1.26] per 22% [IQR, 5%-27%] increase in acute surgery at a given trauma center).</p><p><strong>Conclusions and relevance: </strong>In this c","PeriodicalId":14694,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Network Open","volume":"8 10","pages":"e2535200"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12495496/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145212608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
