Nomogram for Predicting Facial Nerve Outcomes After Surgical Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The facial nerve (FN) outcomes after vestibular schwannoma surgery seriously affect the social psychology and quality of life of patients. More and more attention has been paid to the protection of FN function. This study aimed to identify significant prognostic factors for FN outcomes after vestibular schwannoma surgery and create a new nomogram for predicting the rates of poor FN outcomes.

Methods

Data from patients who had undergone operations for vestibular schwannoma between 2015 and 2020 were retrieved retrospectively and patients were divided into good and poor FN outcomes groups according to postoperative nerve function. The nomogram for predicting the risk of poor FN outcomes was constructed from the results of the univariate logistic regression analysis a
