The objective of this study was to investigate preoperative clinical and radiographic factors predictive of intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL).Methods: This case-control study evaluated EBL for all adults who underwent intracranial meningioma resection from January, 2010 to December, 2021 at our institution. Fifty cases of high EBL (i.e., ≥500 milliliters [mL]) and seventy-five instances of low EBL (i.e., <500mL) were randomly selected. Patients were excluded if they had a recurrent meningioma, preoperative embolization, or lack of imaging data. A multivariable logistic regression model of high EBL likelihood was created.Results: A total of 92 patients met eligibility criteria, with 48 (52%) cases of high EBL. Bivariable analyses identified maximal tumor diameter, intratumoral flow voids, skull base location, and dural venous sinus invasion as potential predictors of high EBL. Multivariable regression found intratumoral flow voids (aOR=5.68 [1.52-21.23], p=0.009), maximal tumor diameter (aOR=1.58 [1.11-2.25] per one-centimeter increase, p=0.01), and skull base location (aOR=3.35 [1.19-9.41], p=0.02) to be independent predictors of high EBL.Conclusion: Intratumoral flow voids, larger maximal tumor diameter, and skull base location were independently predictive of EBL ≥500mL. Intratumoral flow void presence was the strongest predictor, with 5.68 times the odds of high EBL. Each one-centimeter increase in tumor diameter had 58% greater odds of high EBL. Skull base location was associated with 3.35 times the odds of high EBL. These results can inform preoperative patient counseling and blood management preparation.","PeriodicalId":23906,"journal":{"name":"World neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142296779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lumbar radicular pain (LRP) is a prevalent neuropathic pain affecting 9.9% to 25% of the population annually. Accurate identification of pain patterns in LRP is essential for diagnosis and management. Artificial intelligence has potential in healthcare but faces challenges in reliably and accuracy. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy and consistency of LRP patterns demonstrated by ChatGPT-4o.Methods: The study was conducted at Üsküdar State Hospital from June 1 to June 30, 2024, utilizing the GPT-4o language model. ChatGPT-4o was prompted to generate and mark LRP patterns for L4, L5, and S1 radiculopathies on an anatomical model. The process was repeated after two weeks to assess consistency. The markings by ChatGPT were compared with those by two experienced specialists using OpenCV for analysis. Statistical tests, including the Mann-Whitney U-Test, were conducted.Results: ChatGPT's initial and follow-up markings of L4, L5, and S1 radiculopathy pain patterns were statistically significantly different from each other and from the specialists' markings (p<0.001 for all comparisons).Conclusion: ChatGPT currently lacks the capacity to accurately and consistently represent LRP patterns.

We explore Medicare reimbursement trends for anterior (ACF), middle (MCF), posterior cranial fossa (PCF), pituitary surgery (PS), and skull base reconstruction (SBR) surgery from 2000-2022.Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Physician Fee Schedule was performed from 2000-2022 on approach, resection, and repair of the skull base (CPTs 31290-31291, 61546, 61548, 61575-61619, 62165). Reimbursement data was adjusted for inflation to 2022 US dollars, and annual and total changes calculated. The CMS Part B National Summary Data File was analyzed for trends in Medicare procedure volume and total payment.Results: Adjusted for inflation since 2000, reimbursements for ACF, MCF, PCF, PS, and SBR codes had an overall decrease of 22.85%, 32.43%, 28.09%, 44.22%, and 38.65%, respectively. Simultaneously, procedure volume increased at an average annual rate of 63.99%, 128.57%, 19.75%, 36.11%, and 12.79%, respectively.Conclusions: While nominal per-service Medicare reimbursement has increased for skull base surgery codes, there has been a downward trend in inflation-adjusted procedural reimbursement. This parallels findings in other otolaryngology and neurosurgery procedures. Despite this, surgical volume in all skull base surgery subfields has increased, indicating increased utility and adoption of these techniques.","PeriodicalId":23906,"journal":{"name":"World neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142296773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, these tumors are situated near vital structures like the optic chiasm and hypothalamus, rendering conventional surgery susceptible to significant complications. We mainly discussed the surgical application value and diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in HOCG and CP.Methods: The retrospective analysis of 13 cases of HOCG and 16 cases of CP was conducted. All patients underwent conventional MRI and DTI prior to surgery, and were pathologically diagnosed postoperatively.Results: Both CP and HOCG appeared as heterogeneous mixed signal masses on conventional MRI. For HOCGs, fiber tractography revealed two different growth patterns of the tumor: infiltrative type and inflated type. The surgical approach and risk levels differ between these growth patterns. Additionally, fiber tractography demonstrates significant differences compared to CPs. The surgical approach and extent of resection for all cases of these two tumors were guided by DTI.Conclusion: DTI enhances the accuracy of HOCG and CP differentiation. Furthermore, patterns of tractography described in this study assist neurosurgeons in delineating the surgical pathway and tumor resection range without damaging important fiber bundles, thereby avoiding permanent neurological deficits and improving survival quality for patients.","PeriodicalId":23906,"journal":{"name":"World neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142296789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
