Statistical analyses were per-formed to describe the relationships between recurrence of CSDH and factors such as sex, age, hypertension, dia-betes mellitus,heart disease, antiplatelet therapy and bilateral CSDH. Results 28 eases experienced a recur-rence of CSDH. Statistical analyses found that bilateral CSDH and dabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for the recurrence of CSDH. Conclusion Bilateral and diabetes mellitus are independent predictors for the re-currence of CSDH. These patients must be clinically to keep alert. Close observation on the postoperative patients and reviewing CT timely could be helpful to the treatment of CSDH. Key words: Chronic subdural hematoma; Risk factor,Hematoma; Diabetes mellitus
