405. Glioblastoma Readmission Risk Score: Estimating 30 Day Readmission Risk after Glioblastoma Resection

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presentation, titled "Glioblastoma Readmission Risk Score: Estimating 30-Day Readmission Risk After Glioblastoma Resection," was given by Arca Malala, a medical student. The presentation discussed the development of a simple additive tool, the Glioblastoma Readmission Risk Score, to estimate the risk of 30-day readmission after glioblastoma resection. The study analyzed a cohort of 666 resections from 467 patients to determine predictive factors for readmission and developed a risk score calculator using multivariate regression. Factors such as recurrent resection and post-operative surgical site infection were found to increase readmission risk, while higher Karnofsky performance scores and MGMT methylation were protective. The presenter highlighted the potential of the score for patient screening and counseling, as well as post-operative follow-up. The study is considered the largest in this area and the first to develop a score. The presenter expressed gratitude to the advanced practice providers and mentioned the intention to publish the findings.
