Popis: Abstract External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is often associated with complications; however, predictors of adverse outcomes after EVD placement are not well understood. This study aimed to identify predictors of EVD tract hemorrhage and to compare post-EVD hemorrhage rates between computer-assisted navigation and freehand technique EVD placement. This retrospective study included 147 consecutive patients who presented with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) requiring an EVD. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between predictors and adverse outcomes after EVD placement. The most common presenting pathologies in patients who had EVD placement were intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) (43%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) (28%). 14% of patients experienced EVD tract hemorrhage.
