Morbidity and mortality rates reported for meningioma resection in the elderly vary widely. Thus, it is difficult for neurosurgeons to compare the risks and benefits of operating on elderly patients against opting for radiosurgery or watchful waiting. To address this issue, we studied the effect of advanced age on outcome after meningioma resection using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.
