Sarcopenic obesity and cachexia as nutritional risk phenotypes and histology-specific outcomes after intracranial tumor resection: a histology-stratified NSQIP analysis of 27,057 cases.

Abstract excerpt

Preoperative risk stratification in neurosurgery typically uses body mass index (BMI), albumin, or frailty as single-marker predictors. We assessed whether a composite phenotype predicts outcomes after cranial neuro-oncologic surgery and whether effects differ by tumor histology. A retrospective analysis of 27,057 patients undergoing craniotomy for meningioma, malignant glioma, or brain metastasis was performed...
