Background
As the predictive role of many risk factors for parasagittal meningioma (PM) recurrence remains unclear, the objective of the meta-analysis was to make a comprehensive assessment of the predictive value of selected risk factors in these lesions.
Methods
Studies including data on selected risk factors, such as histology, tumor and sinus resection, sinus invasion, tumor localization, and immediate postoperative radiotherapy for PMs recurrence, were searched in the NCBI/NLM PubMed/MEDLINE, EBM Reviews/Cochrane Central, ProQuest, and Scopus databases, and analyzed using random effects modeling.
Results
Thirteen observational studies involving 1243 patients met the criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. WHO grading of meningiomas was identified as the most powerful risk factor for recurrence. WHO grade II meningiomas (OR 11.61; 95% CI 4.43–30.43; P < .01; I2 = 31%) or composite group of WHO grades II and III (OR 14.84; 95% CI 5.10–43.19; P < .01; I2 = 48%) had a significantly higher risk of recurrence than benign lesions. Moreover, an advanced sinus involvement (types IV–VI according to the Sindou classification) (OR 3.49; 95% CI 1.30–9.33; P = .01; I2 = 0%) and partial tumor resection (Simpson grades III–V) (OR 2.73; 95% CI 1.41–5.30; P = .03; I2 = 52%) were associated with a significantly higher risk of recurrence than their counterparts.
Conclusion
Among the selected risk factors, high-grade WHO lesions, advanced sinus invasion, and partial tumor resection were associated with a higher risk of PM recurrence, with WHO grading system being the most powerful risk factor.
