Popis: ObjectiveMIB-1 index is an important predictor of meningioma progression. However, MIB-1 index is not available in the preoperative tailored medical decision-making process. A preoperative scoring sheet independently estimating MIB-1 indices in spinal meningioma (SM) patients has not been investigated so far.MethodsBetween 2000 and 2020, 128 patients with clinical data, tumor imaging data, inflammatory laboratory (plasma fibrinogen, serum C-reactive protein) data, and neuropathological reports (MIB-1, mitotic count, CD68 staining) underwent surgery for spinal WHO grade 1 and 2 meningioma.ResultsAn optimal MIB-1 index cut-off value (≥5/
