Risk factors for postoperative thrombosis-related complications in patients undergoing malignant brain tumor resection: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with malignant brain tumors frequently exhibit hypercoagulation and are at a high risk of postoperative thrombosis-related complications. However, the risk factors for postoperative thrombosis-related complications remain unclear.

Methods

In this retrospective, observational study, we consecutively enrolled elective patients undergoing resection of malignant brain tumors from 26 November 2018 to 30 September 2021. The primary objective of the study was to identify risk factors for a composite of three major adverse events including postoperative lower limb deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and cerebral ischemia.

Results

A total of 456 patients were enrolled in this study, where 112 (24.6%) patients had postoperative thrombosis-related c
