## Overview[edit | edit source]

The incidence of subdural hematoma is approximately 14.7 per 100,000 individuals in USA. The case mortality rate of traumatic subdural hematoma is approximately 14%. Patients of all age groups may develop subdural hematoma. The incidence of subdural hematoma increases with age. There is no racial predilection to subdural hematoma. Men are more commonly affected by chronic subdural hematoma than female.
