Introduction:
Surgical revascularization represents an effective treatment for moyamoya disease (MMD); however, it is associated with postoperative complications such as stroke and hyperperfusion syndrome. Intraoperative polyuria and electrolyte disturbances resembling diabetes insipidus (DI) are frequently observed, yet their clinical significance remains unclear. This study aimed to identify potential risk factors for postoperative complications and to evaluate the predictive value of intraoperative DI in individuals undergoing revascularization for MMD.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 273 consecutive revascularization procedures performed at the North Campus of Huashan Hospital between November 2019 and December 2022. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors of postoperative complications occurring within 30 days. Risk factors for intraoperative DI were assessed, and a nomogram-based predictive model was constructed.
Results:
Postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome occurred in 106 cases (42.4%), and postoperative stroke in 20 cases (8.0%). Intraoperative DI was observed in 113 cases (45.2%). The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher among individuals who experienced intraoperative DI compared to those who did not (p = 0.02). Multivariate analysis identified intraoperative DI (p = 0.011), elevated body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.032), and ischemic MMD (p = 0.015) as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. In addition, high BMI was associated with an increased risk of intraoperative DI. The predictive model demonstrated good performance with an area under the curve of 0.798.
Discussion:
This study highlights intraoperative DI, elevated BMI, and ischemic-type MMD as independent predictors of postoperative complications. The link between high BMI and DI suggests a potential interaction. Incorporating these factors into perioperative assessment may improve risk stratification and guide preventative strategies to enhance surgical outcomes in MMD patients.
Conclusion:
The association between high BMI and intraoperative DI indicates a potential predictive relationship, which may support perioperative risk stratification in individuals with MMD.
Insights
Intraoperative diabetes insipidus (DI), high BMI, and ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD) predict postoperative complications after revascularization. High BMI also predicts intraoperative DI, aiding risk assessment for MMD patients.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Surgery
- Neurology
Background:
- Surgical revascularization is effective for moyamoya disease (MMD) but carries risks like stroke and hyperperfusion syndrome.
- Intraoperative diabetes insipidus (DI) is common but its clinical significance in MMD revascularization is unclear.
- This study investigates risk factors for postoperative complications and the predictive value of intraoperative DI.
Purpose of the Study:
- Identify risk factors for postoperative complications following MMD revascularization.
- Evaluate the predictive value of intraoperative DI for postoperative complications.
- Develop a predictive model for perioperative risk stratification in MMD patients.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 273 revascularization procedures for MMD.
- Univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors for postoperative complications.
- Assessment of risk factors for intraoperative DI and construction of a nomogram-based predictive model.
Main Results:
- Postoperative complications occurred in 42.4% (hyperperfusion syndrome) and 8.0% (stroke).
- Intraoperative DI was present in 45.2% of cases and significantly associated with higher complication rates (p=0.02).
- Independent predictors of complications included intraoperative DI (p=0.011), elevated BMI (p=0.032), and ischemic-type MMD (p=0.015). High BMI also predicted intraoperative DI.
Conclusions:
- Intraoperative DI, elevated BMI, and ischemic-type MMD are independent predictors of postoperative complications in MMD revascularization.
- The association between high BMI and intraoperative DI suggests a potential interaction and predictive relationship.
- Incorporating these factors into perioperative assessment can improve risk stratification and preventative strategies for MMD patients.
