Meningiomas are the most common primary tumor of the CNS. Studies investigating the impact of a brain tumor diagnosis on mental health disorders (MHDs) in patients have been limited. The objective of this work is to characterize the incidence and factors affecting the presence of MHDs in untreated meningiomas.
Using a large-scale private payer database, MarketScan, we performed a retrospective study of patients with an untreated meningioma and corresponding MHD.
We found that in patients diagnosed with an untreated meningioma, approximately 16% were diagnosed with an MHD within 1 year of the diagnosis of the meningioma.
By identifying risk factors, appropriate screening can focus on patients at high-risk for the development of MHD.
脑膜瘤是中枢神经系统最常见的原发性肿瘤。关于脑肿瘤诊断对患者心理健康障碍(MHDs)影响的研究有限。本研究的目的是描述未经治疗的脑膜瘤患者中MHDs的发病率及影响其存在的因素。
我们使用大型商业医保数据库MarketScan,对未经治疗的脑膜瘤及相应MHDs患者进行了一项回顾性研究。
我们发现,在诊断为未经治疗的脑膜瘤的患者中,约16%在脑膜瘤诊断后1年内被诊断为MHDs。
通过识别风险因素,适当的筛查可以聚焦于发生MHDs高风险的患者。
