ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To better predict the postoperative functional outcomes of patients operated on for a spinal meningioma, we assessed 1) the prevalence of good and poor postoperative functional outcomes following surgery; 2) the impact of age and frailty on postoperative functional outcomes.METHODS:
In this retrospective cohort study, we screened adult patients operated on for a spinal meningioma from 2005 to 2022. Inclusion criteria were 1) patients ≥18 years; 2) histopathological diagnosis of meningioma; 3) location to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine (foramen magnum meningioma excluded); 4) surgery as first-line treatment; and 5) available postoperative follow-up ≥1 year. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the modified McCormick scale preoperatively and at one-year of postoperative follow-up.RESULTS:
In this single institution experience of 59 cases, we found that 1) surgical resection positively impacts patients' functional outcomes, 91.2% either showing an improved or maintained good postoperative neurological status defined by a modified McCormick scale score ≤ II; 2) a good modified McCormick scale status was achieved in 84.2% of patients at one postoperative year; 3) 87.5% of patients who were not improved postoperatively maintained an overall good neurological status defined by a modified McCormick scale score ≤ II; and 4) frail or aged patients were not at a higher risk of poor postoperative functional outcomes.CONCLUSION:
Surgical resection positively impacts outcomes of patients operated for a spinal meningioma. Sex, presence of a meningioma-related myelopathy, extent of resection, and occurrence of surgery-related postoperative complications, but not age or frailty, predict postoperative functional outcomes.Palabras clave
