A clinical practical model for preoperative prediction of visual outcome for pituitary adenoma patients in a retrospective and prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Preoperative prediction of visual recovery after pituitary adenoma resection surgery remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the value of clinical and radiological features in preoperatively predicting visual outcomes after surgery.

Methods

Patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for pituitary adenoma were included in this retrospective and prospective study. Preoperative MRI, visual acuity, visual field, and postoperative visual recovery data were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the importance of clinical and MRI features, and a prediction model was developed.

Results

The cohort included 198 patients (150 retrospective, 48 prospective). In the retrospective data, visual recovery was observed in 11
