Abstract: ObjectivesTo develop a scoring system based on independent predictors of the need for ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt after brain tumor resection in pediatric patients.MethodsA total of 416 pediatric patients (≤ 14 years old) with brain tumors who underwent surgery were randomly assigned to the training (n = 333) and validation cohorts (n = 83). Based on the implementation of VP shunt, the training cohort was divided into the VP shunt group (n = 35) and the non-VP shunt group (n = 298). Univariate and multivar… Show more

“…While this occurrence is exceptionally rare, it's essential to highlight vP shunts as a potentially "dangerous pathway" for tumor spread to peripheral areas. this is particularly significant given that vP drainage is frequently necessary, as hydrocephalus is a common feature in the initial presentation of brain tumors in approximately 50% of pediatric cases (14).…”
