Brandi et al. (2022) conducted an observational in intracranial lesions (n=664). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Frequency of postoperative complications at 24 hours following surgery and at discharge. Among 664 patients undergoing elective craniotomy, female sex was not associated with any difference in the frequency of early postoperative complications or complications at discharge compared to males.
