Video Summary
In the video, Andrew Joaquim, a 3rd year medical student at Creighton University, presents research done in collaboration with Barrow Neurological Institute. The study titled "Advanced Age Does Not Increase Risk of Postoperative Complications Following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery" aimed to determine if age is a risk factor for negative outcomes in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Retrospective analysis was conducted on 861 patients who underwent DBS. While outcomes like seizures, strokes, and infections were similar across age groups, elderly patients experienced altered mental status, urinary retention, discharge to rehab or SNF, and longer hospital stays. Intracranial hemorrhage risk was higher in the elderly, specifically subdural hemorrhage. Future studies are needed to validate these findings and explore factors like generalizability and long-term efficacy.
