Video Summary

In this video, Rishika Shoshi, a medical student at the University of California, San Diego, presents the findings of a study on risk factors for postoperative diabetes insipidus (DI) in patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery. The study analyzed data from 2,563 patients who underwent the surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, between 2007 and 2019. The study found that craniopharyngiomas, younger age, male sex, and intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid encounters were associated with a higher risk of developing DI. The study also noted that using a microscopic approach for surgery was associated with a lower risk of DI. The findings confirmed some previous research and highlighted the importance of identifying risk factors for DI in surgical patients.
