Incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of meningiomas with distant metastases at presentation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Distant metastases (DM) at presentation in meningiomas is a very rare event, and the incidence and factors predicting this are uncertain. This population-based study also aimed to investigate the prognostic implication of DM at presentation and clinical parameters to prognosticate the overall survival (OS) of meningiomas presenting with DM (M1).

Methods

We accessed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program to search for patients who were diagnosed with meningioma between 2004 and 2016. The log-rank test was used to compare Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression model was utilized to evaluate the prognostic parameters of meningiomas with DM at presentation.

Results

The incidence of DM at presentation among all meningiomas
