Here in @TheJNS , #LindaTang+ performed a retrospective study using the National Cancer Database of patients with atypical #meningioma

They found that additional time between diagnosis and #surgery is associated with increased risk of #mortality after adjusting for confounders

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

In this article, @FoadKazemi1+ used the Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status (NSES) Index to assess high-value care outcomes after #glioblastoma surgery

Poorer NSES scores were associated with longer LOS, non-routine discharges and non-compliance with Stupp protocol

Tang et al @HopkinsNsurg demonstrated GTR of atypical meningiomas provides survival advantage in both elderly and very elderly cohorts and adjuvant radiotherapy improves this response in the very elderly

Here, @FoadKazemi1+ describe the results of the Peace Education Program we implemented for healthcare professionals and staff.

This 10-week online wellness course was shown to improve #wellness scores of participants and may be used at other medical centers to improve wellness!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

In this study, @RakovecMaureen+ assessed 600 #glioblastoma patients treated at a single institution

They found that Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) scores may be able to predict increased length of stay, non-home discharges and readmission

Great work!

Recently, #MelanieHorowitz+ utilized the SEER database to measure outcomes in very elderly (>=80 years of age) patients with #glioblastoma

She provides evidence that #surgery, #radiotherapy and #chemotherapy may continue to provide a survival advantage in this patient population

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Here in @NeurosurgeryCNS, we provide evidence that radiotherapy, chemotherapy and gross total resection may improve survival outcomes in very elderly patients (>=80 years of age) treated for #Glioblastoma

Great work @JulianGendreau and team!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Check out this recently published paper @WorldNeurosurg by @Sach_Chak+ of a retrospective review of 2,389 patients undergoing surgery for intracranial tumor

They found the distress communities index (DCI) may be a holistic tool for predicting 90-day mortality

Great work!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Here, in @_jocn, @jimenezae17+ provide evidence that the hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) may be superior to other frailty scores in predicting complications and non-routine discharges in patients undergoing surgery for #meningioma

@ColumbiaNeuro

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Check out our new survey by @jimenezae17 + assessing QOL outcomes in #Chordoma patients!

We find that younger survivors, female survivors, and survivors currently undergoing treatment for chordoma are at high risk for adverse #QOL outcomes

Great work!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

In this study published @JNeurooncol by @Sach_Chak+, we find that PROMIS-29 PH summary scores may be predictive of increased hospital LOS, non routine discharges and 30-day readmission outcomes in #braintumor patients

Great work!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Happy to share our recent study published @TheJNS!

Here, we found that recommendations for #surgery appeared to be unaffected by patient sex, race or income status in patients with intramedullary spinal cord #tumors

Great work from our medical student #MeganParker!

[Johns Hopkins Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Lab @NeuroOncSurgery]

Here in @WorldNeurosurg, @jimenezae17+ performed a retrospective study of 263 #glioblastoma patients

They show the hospital frailty risk score effectively predicts extended hospital length of stay, non routine discharges and 30 day readmission

Great work!

Thank you @TheJNS for highlighting our study showing evidence that rates of VTE may not increase with administration of #TXA in intracranial meningioma resection surgery!

Thank you @AaronCohenGadol for supporting and guiding our work on this study. Congratulations colleagues @JulianGendreau @YusufMehkri @KuoCathleen @BenAbraham__ @Sach_Chak

Happy to share our recent literature review in @NeurospineJ suggesting that 3-dimensional printed porous titanium (3D-pTi) interbodies may have superior lumbar fusion outcomes when compared to PEEK cages without increasing subsidence or re-op

Recently published in @WorldNeurosurg, we describe the current state of neuromodulation clinical trials for SCI

Most current clinical trials involve transcutaneous spinal stimulation, epidural electrical stimulation and tibial nerve stimulation

In @_jocn, @RakovecMaureen+ describe the use of tubular #retractors to access deep brain lesions

This approach may facilitate safe #biopsy or #resection of deep-seated intracranial pathologies with low rates of peri-op complications

Happy to share the next article in our #Chordoma study series published in @TheJNS

Using the SEER database, we found unclear benefit of radiotherapy after achieving GTR in spinal chordoma
