Results Age 15-85; mean=60 Sex distribution: 62% F; 38% M Histological Grades of Meningiomas Age 15-85; mean=60 Sex distribution: 62% F; 38% M
Results Post-operative complications: 23% (59 patients) Total recurrence rate: 18% (46 patients) Recurrence rate in meningioma invading SSS: 21,87%
Results MDVS Invasion: Post-operative complications: Higher WHO grade – OR 2,51 (CI 95% [0,98; 6,35], p= 0,03) Male patients – OR 2,79 (CI 95% [1,52; 5,11], p<0,001) Post-operative complications: Major dural venous sinuses invasion OR 2,3(CI 95% [1,21;4,41], p=0,01) Male patients - OR 1,68 (CI 95% [0,93;3,04], p=0,07) Higher WHO Grade OR 1,13 (CI 95% [0,38;3,23],p=0,8)
