Conclusion: Larger tumor size, higher preoperative albumin concentration and higher preoperative platelet count were identified as independent risk factors for greater IBL in resection of intracranial meningioma.Wang, ChenghongLi, PengPLoS ONE
The following data points were extracted from each publication: publication year, study period, study size, mean or median age, tumor location, and the outcomes of interest: number of patients with gross total meningioma resection, improvement in visual outcomes in those with preoperative deficits, ...
In multivariate analysis including age, tumor grade, size, location, extent of resection, sex, and scalp invasion, the only significant predictor of systemic metastasis was scalp invasion (OR=39.67;95%CI=3.74-421.12;p=0.0023). Median overall survival (OS) with metastasis was 126 months, median...
