This research aims to assess survival rates and identify factors influencing outcomes after decompressive craniectomy for malignant MCA infarction.
Retrospective evaluation of 84 patients from June 2019 to June 2024
Assessment of demographic data, clinical parameters, and Glasgow Outcome Scale scores
Comparison of outcomes between patients undergoing either decompressive craniectomy or combined procedures
12-month mortality rate was 78.6% with 66 out of 84 patients deceased
Patients aged 60 years and older had a higher mortality risk
Higher initial GCS scores and younger age were associated with better outcomes
Successful recanalization significantly reduced mortality risk
