What are the predictors of non-attendance for neuropsychological follow-up appointments after intracranial surgery?
A significant proportion (42%) of post-intracranial surgery patients do not attend neuropsychological follow-up, driven by factors such as disease severity, care transitions, and distance.
Mark et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Intracranial surgery (n=428). Predictors of non-attendance (e.g., subdural hematomas, malignant tumors, hospital transfer) vs. Patients without these predictors was evaluated on Non-attendance at neuropsychological follow-up appointment. Among patients scheduled for neuropsychological follow-up after intracranial surgery, 42% were non-attenders, predicted by factors such as malignant tumors, hospital transfer, and distance.
