OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence of surgical complications and associated in-hospital morbidity and mortality following surgery for malignant @entity1313 . @entity1 AND METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried from 2002 to 2011. All adult @entity1 who underwent elective brain surgery for a @entity1313 were included. @entity532 included wrong side surgery, retention of a foreign object, @entity64 , @entity693 , @entity548 / @entity1410 complicating a procedure, and @entity16 . A regression model was conducted to estimate the odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of in-hospital mortality for each surgical complication. RESULTS: A total of 16,530 admissions were analyzed, with 601 (36.2 events per 1000 cases) surgical complications occurring in 567 @entity1 . Over the examined 10-year period, the overall incidence of surgical complications did not change (P=0.061) except for @entity64 , which increased in incidence from 14.1 to 19.8 events per 1000 between 2002 and 2011 (P=0.023). @entity1 who developed a surgical complication had significantly longer lengths of stay, total hospital costs, and higher rates of other complications. @entity1 who experienced an @entity64 had a significantly increased risk of mortality (OR 9.6; 95% 6.3-14.8) and so were @entity1 with a @entity548 / @entity1410 (OR 3.3; 95% CI 1.6-6.6). CONCLUSION: In this study of an administrative database, @entity1 undergoing surgery for a @entity1313 who suffered from a surgical complication had significantly longer lengths of stay, total hospital charges, and complication rates. Having a surgical complication was also an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether all surgical complications were clinically relevant, and further research is encouraged.
