Survival estimates were computed and prognostic factors were identified using a proportional hazards model. The overall 5-year survival rate was 69% and it declined with patient age. This rate was 81% in patients aged 21 to 64 years and 56% for patients 65 years of age or older. When patients were grouped by the histological type of their tumors, those with benign tumors had an overall 5-year survival rate of 70%, whereas the overall 5-year survival rates in patients with atypical and malignant meningiomas were 75% and 55%, respectively. Prognostic factors for benign tumors included age at diagnosis, tumor size, whether treated surgically, hospital type, and radiation therapy; for malignant tumors, the prognostic factors included: age at diagnosis, whether treated surgically, and radiation therapy. These factors were statistically significant. The 5-year rate for recurrence of symptoms (regardless of the method of treatment) was 19.2% for those with benign tumors and 32.4% for those with malignant tumors. In patients whose benign tumor had been completely removed, the 5-year rate of tumor recurrence was 20.5%.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Although not population-based, the NCDB has the potential for providing pertinent information regarding patient characteristics and methods of treatment for benign, as well as malignant, brain tumors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1998.88.5.0831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,16]],"date-time":"2009-06-16T02:13:55Z","timestamp":1245118435000},"page":"831-839","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":171,"title":["Factors associated with survival in patients with meningioma"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Bridget J.","family":"McCarthy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faith G.","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Freels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanya S.","family":"Surawicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denise M.","family":"Damek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Grutsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Herman R.","family":"Menck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward R.","family":"Laws","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","volume-title":"1996 Annual Report.","author":"CBTRUS","year":"1997"},{"key":"b2","volume-title":"Epi Info, Version 6.
