Factors related to morbidity and mortality of meningiomas resection‑associated venous thromboembolism (Review).

ABSTRACT: Patients undergoing intracranial meningioma removal have been reported to have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The present study aimed to study meningioma operations and ascertain rates of postoperative VTE more closely and to find out the associated parameters with VTE-related morbidity and mortality in meningioma patients following resection. This meta-analysis included articles involving meningiomas surgery and postoperative VTE [thromboembolic complications: deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)] published in full-text form between January 1980 and January 2021). Collected variables included: First author name, study period covered, publication year, total number of patients and age, number of males, surgical duration, body mass index (BMI), tumor
