Abstract PurposeWe aimed to investigate the prevalence of quality-of-life deterioration and associated factors in patients who underwent craniotomies for brain tumor removal. Additionally, we examined whether deteriorating quality of life after surgery might affect mortality. MethodsAs a national population-based cohort study, data were extracted from the National Health Insurance Service database of South Korea. Adult patients (≥18 years old) who underwent craniotomy for excision of brain tumors after diagnosis of malignant brain tumor between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2017, were included in this study. ResultsA total of 4,852 patients were included in the analysis. Among them, 2,273 patients (46.9%) experienced a deterioration in quality of life after surgery. Specifically, 595 (12.3%) lost their jobs, 1,329 (27.4%) experienced decreased income, and 844 (17.4%) patients had newly acquired disabilities. In the multivariable Cox regression model, a lower quality of life was associated with a 1.41-fold higher 2-year all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.41, 95% confidence interval: 1.27–1.57; P<0.001). Specifically, newly acquired disability was associated with 1.80-fold higher 2-year all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.80, 95% confidence interval: 1.59–2.03; P<0.001), while loss of job (P=0.353) and decreased income (P=0.599) were not significantly associated.ConclusionsAt one-year follow-up, approximately half the patients who participated in this study experienced a deterioration in the quality-of-life measures of unemployment, decreased income, and newly acquired disability after craniotomy for excision of brain tumors. Newly acquired disability was associated with increased 2-year all-cause mortality.

Background: To control brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE), both epileptological and neuro-oncological approaches are required. We hypothesized that using depth electrodes (DEs) as fence post catheters, we could detect the area of epileptic seizure onset and achieve both brain tumor removal and epileptic seizure control. Methods: Between August 2009 and April 2018, we performed brain tumor removal for 27 patients with BTRE. Patients who underwent lesionectomy without DEs were classified into Group 1 (13 patients) and patients who underwent the fence post DE technique were classified into Group 2 (14 patients). Results: The patients were 15 women and 12 men (mean age, 28.1 years; median age 21 years; range, 5–68 years). The brain tumor was resected to a greater extent in Group 2 than Group 1 (P < 0.001). Shallower contacts showed more epileptogenicity than deeper contacts (P < 0.001). Group 2 showed better epilepsy surgical outcomes than Group 1 (P = 0.041). Conclusion: Using DEs as fence post catheters, we detected the area of epileptic seizure onset and controlled epileptic seizures. Simultaneously, we removed the brain tumor to a greater extent with fence post DEs than without.
