摘要:
The present work aims to determine the influence of surgical procedures in patients with intracranial meningiomas and its impact on postoperative quality of life. To meet the objectives, a case-control, cross-sectional and descriptive study was designed. Patients diagnosed with intracranial meningioma treated at the General Hospital "Dr. Miguel Pérez Carreo "between January 2011 and June 2012. Apparently healthy people were selected as a control group, with no history of genetic or neurological disease, or smoking, in equal proportions by sex, with ages ranging from SD ± 2. I apply the SF-36 questionnaire. The data were compiled in the SPSS 20 program, where they were statistically analyzed, the student's t-test was used to establish the relationships with a p <0.05. 30 patients were studied with Sex: Male 8 (26.7%) Female 22 (73.3%), Age x = 48.1 ± 16.1 (r = 6-81) years, evolution time: x = 1073 , 62 ± 2802 (r = 24-13870) days, size: x: 46.5 ± 47.4 (r = 12-199.7) cm3, 27 (90%) grade I and 3 (10%) grade II WHO, Duration of surgery x = 4.2 ± 1.3 (r = 2-7) hours, according to degree of Simpson recession: 8 (26.7%) grade 0, 14 (46.7%) grade 1, 4 (13.3%) grade 3 and 3 (10%) grade 4. 9 (30%) presented postoperative neurological deficit. In the SF-36 questionnaire there were differences between patients and controls in 3 dimensions: physical function 41.37 ± 39.56 controls 66.66 ± 33.04 (p = 0.010), physical role 52.59 ± 48.34 controls 79 , 17 ± 37.76 (p = 0.022), social function 69.40 ± 30.91 controls 87.5 ± 18.57 (p = 0.008). No relationship was found between evolution time, size, histological grade, Simpson's grade on its impact on quality of life. As in international studies, the presence of these tumors significantly affect physical and social functions, which is why it is worth monitoring the physiological and psychological intervention of patients in the postoperative period, thus increasing their quality of life and integration into society.
