RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The preferred surgical method for treating adults with moyamoya disease (MMD) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of different surgical methods in the treatment of adults with ischaemic-type MMD. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with ischaemic-type MMD who underwent indirect bypass (IB), direct bypass (DB), or combined bypass (CB) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2019. Postoperative complications, improvements in neurological function, haemodynamics, recurrent stroke and neovascularization were compared. RESULTS: A total of 310 adults (371 hemispheres) with ischaemic-type MMD were included in our study. Ninety, 127, and 154 hemispheres underwent IB, DB and CB, respectively. A total of 24 (6.5%) ischaemic events and 8 (2.8%) symptomatic hyperperfusion events occurred after the operations. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications among the three types of surgery (p = 0.300). During the follow-up period, there were 21 cases (5.7%) of recurrent ischaemia and 12 cases (3.2%) of recurrent haemorrhage. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the ischaemia-free survival of the CB group was significantly longer than that of the IB group (p = 0.047), but there was no significant difference in haemorrhage-free survival among the three groups (p = 0.660). Six months after the operation, DB and CB were superior to IB in improving cerebral blood flow and neovascularization (p = 0.002), but there was no significant difference in the improvement of neurological function among the three groups at the last follow-up (p = 0.784). CONCLUSION: The three surgical methods achieved satisfactory results in the treatment of ischaemic-type MMD. DB and CB can significantly improve haemodynamics and reduce recurrent stroke. In terms of improving neurological function, the curative effect of the three surgical methods remains to be further explored.

PURPOSE: The purpose was to explore the correlation between hematological parameters and the progression of WHO grade II meningioma, and establish a clinical prognostic model based on hematological parameters and clinical prognostic factors to predict the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients. METHODS: A total of 274 patients with WHO grade II meningiomas were included. Patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (192, 70%) and a test cohort (82, 30%). In the training cohort, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analysis were used to screen for hematological parameters with prognostic value, and the hematological risk model (HRM) was constructed based on these parameters; univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to screen for clinical prognostic factors, and a clinical prognostic model was constructed based on clinical prognostic factors and HRM. The prognostic stability and accuracy of the HRM and clinical prognostic model were verified in the test cohort. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the patients' different clinical characteristics. RESULTS: Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, albumin-to-globulin ratio, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and lactate dehydrogenase were associated with the PFS of patients. The areas under curve of the HRM were 0.773 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.707-0.839) and 0.745 (95% CI 0.637-0.852) in the training cohort and test cohort, respectively. The progression risk was higher in the high-risk group than that in the low-risk group categorized by the optimal cutoff value (2.05) of hematological risk scores. The HRM, age, tumor location, tumor size, peritumoral edema, extent of resection, Ki-67 index, and postoperative radiotherapy were the prognostic factors for the progression of meningiomas. The corrected C-index of the clinical prognosis model was 0.79 in the training cohort. Clinical decision analysis showed that the clinical prognostic model could be used to obtain favorable clinical benefits. In the subgroup analysis, the HRM displayed excellent prognostic stability and general applicability in different subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative hematological parameters are associated with the postoperative progression of WHO grade II meningiomas. The clinical prognosis model constructed based on hematological parameters and clinical prognostic factors has favorable predictive accuracy and clinical benefits.
