Abstract

We sought to describe complications after resection for meningioma with the use of longitudinal administrative data, which our group has shown recently to be superior to nonlongitudinal administrative data. We identified patients who underwent resection for meningioma between 2010 and 2012 in the Thomson Reuters MarketScan database. Current Procedural Terminology coding at inpatient visit was used to select for meningioma resection procedure. Comorbidities and complications were obtained by use of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision or Current Procedural Terminology coding. Associations between complications and demographic and clinical factors were evaluated with logistic regression. We identified a total of 2216 patients. Approximately 41% developed 1 or more perioperative complications. Approximately 15% were readmitted within 30 days of their procedure. The most frequent complications that occurred in our cohort were new postoperative seizures (11.8%), postoperative dysrhythmia (7.9%), intracranial hemorrhage (5.9%), and cerebral artery occlusion (5.4%). General neurosurgical complications and general neurologic complications occurred in 4.4% and 16.1% of patients, respectively. Nearly 55% of elderl...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
