Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Patients undergoing surgical resection of meningioma are at increased risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to assess occurrence of VTE in patients who underwent surgical resection of meningioma to determine risk factors and associated complications of VTE. METHODS: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project database from 2012 to 2015 was reviewed for patients who had undergone meningioma resection according to primary Current Procedural Terminology codes and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision. RESULTS: The study included 5036 patients with meningioma. Rate of VTE was 3.38%, with pulmonary embolism rate of 1.47% and deep venous thrombosis rate of 2.42%. During the first 30 days after surgery, patients with VTE had a mortality rate of 5.88% compared with 1.15% for patients without VTE. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis determined 5 risk factors for VTE,: age ≥60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification III, operative time ≥310 minutes, ventilator dependence, and preoperative transfusions. Univariate analysis revealed a number of complications significantly associated with VTE occurrence, including unplanned intubation, ventilator use for >48 hours, stroke, sepsis, septic shock, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and transfusions. CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors of VTE and associated complications were identified. Understanding these risk factors provides physicians with further insight in managing this subgroup of patients in a personalized fashion in the perioperative period to minimize the incidence and morbidity of VTE.
