The influence of the extent of surgery on the neurological function and survival in malignant glioma. A retrospective analysis in 243 patients.
Open accessAbstract
A retrospective analysis was performed on 66 patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and 177 patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GM). The prognostic importance of age, performance status, tumour location, extent of surgery and radiation treatment was studied. Radiation therapy gave a significant improvement in survival in both AA (p less than 0.003) and GM (p less than 0.002), but was given only to patients in a good neurological condition. Both younger age (p less than 0.003), and good preoperative performance status (p less than 0.002) were associated with a longer survival in AA, but not in GM. Extensive surgery was correlated with a better immediate postoperative performance, a lower one-month mortality rate and a longer survival, in both AA and GM. There was no relationship between preoperative neurological function status and the extent of surgery. Because of the retrospective nature of this study, the conclusion is that performing extensive surgery instead of limited surgery does not lead to more deterioration in postoperative neurological function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
