BACKGROUND: Brain tumor incidence continues to increase during the last decade in several countries. Determining the response of intracranial tumors to treatment remains a major challenge in the field of neuro-oncology. Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) is a widely used method for assessing the functional status of a patient.
AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between stadium and histopathological features with clinical outcomes in patients with glioma tumors.
METHODS: This was an observational analytic study with a retrospective approach at the H. Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan from September 2019 to September 2020. The study population was glioma patients. The research sample was 36 subjects taken consecutively. The independent variables of the study were stage and histopathological features, while the dependent variable of the study was KPS. Statistical analysis with Gamma test.
RESULTS: Mean age was 38.11 ± 13.86 years. Most subjects were male, amounting to 20 subjects (55.6%). The most common type of glioma tumor was anaplastic astrocytoma, amounting to 8 subjects (22.2%). The highest tumor stage was a high-grade glioma, amounting to 19 subjects (52.8%), and the most histopathological features based on WHO criteria were WHO grade 3, totaling 13 subjects (36.1%). Most KPS is 80–100 with 19 subjects (52.8%). There is a significant correlation between the stage and histopathological features with KPS with a moderate correlation strength (p = 0.036; r = 0.598) (p = 0.024; r = 0.508)
CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation between stage and histopathological features with KPS with moderate correlation strengthDownloads
