Health-related quality of life in surgically treated asymptomatic meningioma patients: A population-based matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asymptomatic patients with meningiomas are increasingly detected, where management can be challenging in terms of surgery versus watchful waiting. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important factor in clinical decision-making, albeit not greatly studied in this patient group. The aim of this paper is to map the HRQoL among patients with surgically removed asymptomatic meningioma as compared to the general population.

Methods

Patients with first-time surgically treated asymptomatic meningioma between 2007 and 2013 were identified. Patients were invited in 2017 to answer a survey regarding different aspects of quality of life, using EuroQoL (EQ)-5D-3L, perceived health, lifestyle, and occupancy. Data from electronic patient records was obtained. The patie
