A common neurosurgical condition, chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) typically affects older people with other underlying health conditions. The care of this potentially vulnerable cohort is often, however, fragmented and suboptimal. In complex conditions, multidisciplinary guidelines have transformed patient experience outcomes, but no such framework exists for cSDH. This paper outlines a protocol to develop the first comprehensive guideline from diagnosis long-term recovery
A chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is an encapsulated collection of fluid and blood degradation products in the space. It increasingly common, affecting older people those living with frailty. Currently, no guidance exists to define optimal care from onset symptoms through recovery. This paper presents first consensus-built recommendations for best practice cSDH, co-designed support each stage patient pathway. Guideline development was led by a multidisciplinary Steering Committee...
Core outcome sets (COSs) are important and necessary as they help standardize reporting in research studies. Cranioplasty following traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke is becoming increasingly common, leading to an ever-growing clinical interest, especially regarding the optimal material, cost-effectiveness, timing of cranioplasty concerning neurological recovery complications. Consequently, heterogeneous outcomes from such diverse studies has led limited meta-analysis ability ongoing...

<h3>Introduction</h3> Liver disease is the second leading cause of work years lost in Europe creating a significant burden disease.<sup>1</sup> With an ageing, multi-morbid population we now manage increasingly complex cohorts patients with advanced chronic liver (ACLD), necessitating multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach to optimise care. A regional ACLD MDT was initiated facilitate joint discussions regarding TIPSS/transplant assessment as well advance care planning (ACP). Since...
