Popis: Introduction: Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors are rare tumors of the spinal cord. Currently, there is no evidence on the factors that predict poor outcomes in the patients. The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic factors that are associated with poor outcomes in IDEM tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients 18 years and older with IDEM tumors who underwent surgery at our institute were identified and retrospectively reviewed. The patient’s demographic data, risk factors, and modified McCormick Scale score were collected. Results: A total of 129 patients with IDEM were included in this study. The age ranged from 19 to 79 years (mean 51.3 years), with a predominantly female population (85 patients, 65.9%). Eighty-nine (68.9%) patients had a good outcome, while 40 (31.0%) patients had a poor outcome. The significant factors for poor outcomes included the number of vertebral levels removed for tumor access (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 3.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.30–11.08, P = 0.013); pathology other than meningioma, schwannoma, and neurofibroma (adjusted OR = 18.86, 95% CI = 2.16–164.49, P = 0.007); and bowel/bladder involvement (adjusted OR = 3.47, 95% CI = 1.15–10.39, P = 0.027). Conclusion: We found that the factors for poor outcomes included bowel/bladder involvement, number of vertebral levels removed for tumor access, and pathology other than meningioma, schwannoma, and neurofibroma.
