Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The use of subdural drains significantly reduced symptomatic recurrence in chronic subdural haematoma. • There was no significant difference in the rate of wound infection, subdural empyema or haemorrhage with a subdural drain. • Six-month mRS, 30-day mortality and six-month mortality were comparable with or without placement of a subdural drain.
