    Background And ObjectivesSubdural hematoma (SDH) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) require renal replacement therapy in addition to neurological management. We sought to determine whether continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) or intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) is associated with higher rates of SDH re-expansion as well as morbidity and mortality.MethodsHemodialysis-dependent patients with ESRD who were discovered to have an SDH were retrospectively identified from 2016 to 2022. Rates of SDH expansion during CVVHD vs iHD were compared. Hemodialysis mode was included in a multivariate logistic regression model to test for independent association with SDH expansion and mortality.ResultsA total of 123 hemodialysis-dependent patients with ESRD were discovered to have a concomitant SDH during the period of study. Patients who received CVVHD were on average 10.2 years younger ( P < .001), more likely to have traumatic SDH (47.7% vs 19.0%, P < .001), and more likely to have cirrhosis (25.0% vs 10.1%, P = .029). SDH expansion affecting neurological function occurred more frequently during iHD compared with CVVHD (29.7% vs 12.0%, P = .013). Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that CVVHD was independently associated with decreased risk of SDH affecting neurological function (odds ratio 0.25, 95% CI 0.08-0.65). Among patients who experienced in-hospital mortality or were discharged to hospice, 5% suffered a neurologically devastating SDH expansion while on CVVHD compared with 35% on iHD.ConclusionCVVHD was independently associated with decreased risk of neurologically significant SDH expansion. Therefore, receiving renal replacement therapy through a course of CVVHD may increase SDH stability in patients with ESRD.Copyright © Congress of Neurological Surgeons 2023. All rights reserved.
