Multiple confounding factors may come into role; including the material used, surgical technique, cognitive assessment tools, and the overall complications. The aim of this study is to assess the neurological outcome and postoperative complications in patients who underwent early versus late cranioplasty.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods: <\/jats:title>\nA retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate the neurological outcome and postoperative complications in patients who underwent cranioplasty between 2005 and 2018 at a Level l trauma center. Early and late cranioplasties were defined as surgeries performed within and more than 90 days of decompressive craniectomy, respectively. The Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) and modified Rankin scale (mRS), recorded within 1 week of cranioplasty, were used to assess the neurological outcome.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults: <\/jats:title>\nA total of 101 cases of cranioplasty were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 31.4 \u00b1 13.9 years. Most patients (n<\/jats:italic> = 86; 85.1%) were male. The mean GOS for all patients was 4.0 \u00b1 1.0. The mean mRS was 2.2 \u00b1 1.78. Hydrocephalus was noted in 18 patients (early, n<\/jats:italic> = 6; late, n<\/jats:italic> = 12; P<\/jats:italic> = 0.48). Seizures developed in 28 patients (early, n<\/jats:italic> = 12; late, n<\/jats:italic> = 16; P<\/jats:italic> = 0.77).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nThe neurological outcome in patients who underwent early versus late cranioplasty is almost identical. The differences in the rates of overall postoperative complications between early versus late cranioplasty were statistically insignificant. The optimal timing for performing cranioplasty is mainly dependent on the resolution of cerebral swelling.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_802_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]],"date-time":"2021-06-07T13:33:57Z","timestamp":1623072837000},"page":"264","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Effect of cranioplasty timing on the functional neurological outcome and postoperative complications"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Aloraidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Alkhaibary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahoud","family":"Alharbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nada","family":"Alnefaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abeer","family":"Alaglan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz","family":"AlQarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ministry of National Guard - Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Turki","family":"Elarjani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Miami, Department of Neurological Surgery, Miami, FL.
