Objective: To analyze the risk factors and construct a prediction model for early postoperative epileptic seizures after glioma resection. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical data of 495 patients who underwent craniotomy for glioma resection in Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2021 to April 2024. Based on the occurrence of early-onset seizures after surgery, the patients were divided into a seizure group(n=32) and a non-seizure group(n=463). The clinical risk factors of the two groups were compared to identify the risk factors for early-onset seizures following glioma resection. A predictive model was then constructed based on these results, and the ROC curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of the model for seizure occurrence. Results: Our study included 495 patients with primary glioma who underwent craniotomy for glioma resection. The incidence of early-onset seizures after surgery was 6.46%(32/495). Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative seizures(OR=3.980, 95%CI:2.261-6.452), tumor located in the frontal lobe(OR=1.643, 95%CI:1.447-5.961), tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm(OR=2.792, 95%CI:1.244-5.046), cortical tumor infiltration(OR=2.059, 95%CI:1.428-4.742), pathological grade Ⅱ(OR=1.318, 95%CI:1.182-3.136), and lack of prophylactic AEDs use(OR=3.078, 95%CI:1.627-7.741) were risk factors for early-onset seizures after glioma resection. A risk prediction model was constructed based on these risk factors, and the area under the ROC curve for predicting early-onset seizures after glioma surgery was 0.814(95%CI:0.747-0.881), with a sensitivity of 0.79 and a specificity of 0.80. Conclusion: In patients who have undergone surgery for primary glioma, preoperative history of seizures, tumor location in the frontal lobe, tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm, cortical involvement of the tumor, pathological grade Ⅱ, and lack of prophylactic AEDs use are risk factors leading to early-onset of postoperative seizures. The constructed risk prediction model has good predictive performance, facilitating nursing staff to assess the patient's seizure risk and intervene early with appropriate care. |
