Oedema as a prognostic factor for seizures in meningioma - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are benign intracranial tumours that commonly lead to seizures and oedema. An understanding of seizure risk factors is essential for the meningioma community. Many studies have differing conclusions on whether oedema is associated with seizure. Existing meta-analyses are limited by lack of focus on oedema. Our objective was to summarise all literature on oedema as a prognostic factor for seizures in meningioma patients. We searched OVID, Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and Google scholar up to April 2024 for reports with more than 10 human meningioma participants. Statistics were performed on R-Studio. Cochrane and Campbell guides for systematic reviews and meta-analysis were followed. Risk of bias was assessed with ROBINS-E. Our protocol was uploaded to INPL
