Table 2 shows the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) for those patients who underwent a DC, including the breakdown by whether the surgery included hematoma evacuation. This demonstrates a wide variability in outcome in the two subgroups in addition to the total patient group. There was no statistical significance in outcome between the two subgroups (p = 0.63). The outcome (GOS 1–3 = poor and 4–5 = good) when measured against the time from ictus to decompression, as seen in Fig. 1 , also did not show a statistical significance (p = 0.762).
