Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Postoperative hemorrhage (POH), an uncommon complication after cranial operation, may result in prolonged postoperative hospitalization, severe neurologic impairment, or even death. Most models in studies detecting risk factors for POH include all kinds of cranial lesions; however, factors associated with POH may vary among intracranial diseases. There is a paucity of large sample studies focusing solely on POH after intracranial tumor surgery. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the preoperative risk factors for POH after surgery for intracranial tumor. METHODS:Medical records of 2259 adult patients who underwent primary surgical resection of single intracranial tumor between January 2017 and June 2018 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for POH after resection of intracranial tumor. RESULTS:POH (defined as postoperative hematoma requiring surgical evacuation) occurred in 40 of 2259 patients (1.8%). Univariate analysis revealed that older age (P = 0.037, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test), higher international normalized ratio (INR) (P = 0.037, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test), and larger tumor size (P = 0.001, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test) were significantly associated with POH. Then it was confirmed by multivariate analysis that all of the 3 factors (older age: P = 0.033, higher INR: P = 0.044, larger tumor size: P = 0.002) were independent risk factors for POH after removal of intracranial tumor. CONCLUSIONS:Older age, higher INR, and larger tumor size were identified as independent risk factors for POH after resection of intracranial tumor in adults.
