Age and surgical outcome of low-grade glioma in Sweden

Abstract: In general, older patients with LGG have several unfavorable prognostic factors compared with younger patients but seem to tolerate surgery in a comparable fashion. However, more neurological deficits were observed following resections in elderly. Our data further support a cutoff at 50 years rather than 40 years for selection of high-risk patients.

“…The clinical features of glioma are also important factors in uencing the prognosis of patients. We found that the risk score of older patients was higher than the youth, which means a worse prognosis in older patients, and the phenomenon was consistent with the existing research conclusions (32). Compared with the low-risk group, the high-risk group was mainly composed of GBM and lower-grade glioma (G2/G3) with poor prognosis.…”

“…Patients with sGBM and new neurological impairments had worse OS than those without neurological de cits and primary low-grade glioma and GBM. [27] Our ndings indicated that new neurological impairments were a detrimental factor for the OS of patients with sGBM. In addition, for patients in group F, GTR and a consistent or increased postoperative KPS score were favorable independent factors for OS.…”
