M-A: Surgical timing in patients with infective endocarditis and with intracranial hemorrhage.
27 May, 2022 | 11:25h | UTC
Commentary from the author on Twitter
Check out the results of our meta-analysis regarding operation timing in endocarditis patients with intracranial hemorrhage.
An interesting highlight is the evident immortal-time bias present in most studies. See more: https://t.co/6YskZPIXWB@HrisKirov @MahmDiab @ToDoenst pic.twitter.com/HvcbjTQAjT

Commentary on Twitter
In matched cohort of patients with glioblastoma, awake craniotomy resulted in fewer neurological deficits at 3 mo and 6 mo post-surgery than asleep resection, and longer mOS (17.0 mo versus 14.0 mo; P =0.0005), and mPFS (9.0 mo versus 7.3 mo; P = 0.006) https://t.co/S1fdRTxYDg
