Predictors of mortality at 3 months in patients with skull base tumor resections in a low-income setting
Mortality from skull base tumor resection remains high in our setting. Holistic pre-operative surgical planning, meticulous intraoperative execution of procedures, and post-operative dedicated follow-up of patients in a neurointensive care unit alongside quality improvement works on identified risks of mortality are strongly recommended to improve patient outcomes. The urgent need for setup improvement and further training of neurosurgeons is also underscored.
