Abstract
Background: Surgical treatment of brain tumors were proved to be at highest risk of unplanned reoperation. Therefore, we decided to find possible predictors of complications leading to early unplanned reoperations among patients with supratentorial brain tumors. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 328 patients who underwent craniotomy due to supratentorial brain tumor. Early reoperation was defined as reoperation during the same hospital stay. To determine the potential predictors of early reoperation we used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: A total of 22 (6.51%) patients underwent unplanned reoperation. Those patients significantly more often were diagnosed with high grade glioma (81.82% vs. 55.70%; p = 0.02). They had lower Red Blood Cells count (4.16 ± 0.82 vs. 4.60 ± 0.56 103/μl; p
