Incidence
- Epidural hematoma occurs in approximately 2000 per 100,000 of patients with head injury.[1]
- Epidural hematoma is the cause of 5% to 15% of fatal head injuries.[1]
- Approximately 85% to 95% of epidural hematoma have an overlying skull fracture.[1]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The in-hospital mortality rate of epidural hematoma in young patients with epidural hematoma is approximately 4800 per 100,000 individuals with a case-mortality rate of 4.8%.[2]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop epidural hematoma because the main cause of epidural hematoma is traumatic head injury.
