Reports from West Virginia University Add New Study Findings to Research in Migraine (Gender Differences in Quality-of-Life Outcome in Patients undergoing Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery).

A recent study conducted at West Virginia University examined gender differences in quality-of-life outcomes for patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS). The study found that female patients who underwent EESBS had higher overall scores on the sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), indicating worse quality of life compared to male patients. This difference was primarily attributed to a higher incidence of migraine among female patients. The study highlights the importance of considering gender differences in surgical outcomes and the impact of migraine on quality of life. [Extracted from the article]
