Diabetes prolongs hospitalization and increases infection, cerebral edema, and neurological complications in meningioma patients: A retrospective study

Key Points

• Hospitalization duration is significantly longer for diabetic meningioma patients, leading to increased healthcare burdens.
• Infection risk also rises, complicating recovery and creating additional challenges for patient management.
• Postoperative complications, including cerebral edema, are more frequent in meningioma patients with diabetes, requiring vigilant surveillance.
• Highlights the critical need for targeted strategies in managing diabetic patients during meningioma surgery.
