Why the study?
Despite advances in pediatric neurosurgery, procedure complexity poses a high risk of adverse events, and the literature lacks comprehensive adverse event data.

9.2% AE incidence supports enhanced monitoring in pediatric neurosurgery; leaves open whether systematic tracking improves outcomes beyond this cohort.
What is the incidence and what are the predictors of adverse events in pediatric neurosurgery?
In pediatric neurosurgery, the incidence of adverse events is relatively low at 9.2%, with older age serving as a significant protective factor against postoperative complications.
