Table 3.

Univariate analysis of relative risk of specific variables on outcome in gangliogliomas.

All adverse outcomes High‐grade progression/death
Variable RR (95% CI) P Variable RR P
IDH1‐mutant 1.38 (1.05–1.81) 0.0007 IDH1‐mutant 2.89 (0.93–8.96) 0.0002
WHO grade >I 1.47 (1.07–2.01) 0.0046 WHO grade >I 4.09 (0.71–23.7) 0.0074
Any mitoses 1.61 (0.92–2.01) 0.060 Age ≥20 years 0.0055
Non‐temporal 1.37 (0.80–2.35) 0.31 Any mitoses 1.20 (0.93–1.55) 0.061
Male gender 1.17 (0.64–2.15) 0.62 Male gender 1.31 (0.41–4.18) 0.70
Age ≥20 years 1.07 (0.64–1.77) 1.00 Non‐temporal 1.10 (0.48–2.51) 1.00

Outcomes of 86 gangliogliomas were scored for either all adverse outcome or strictly for high‐grade progression/death (see Methods). Variables were ranked according to statistical significance of relative risk (RR; via Fisher's exact test) in correlating with each type of outcome. (∞ = no case under 20 years old showed high‐grade progression or death.) Of note, the World Health Organization (WHO) grade >I group includes all gangliogliomas with “atypical” features as well as grade III anaplastic gangliogliomas (Table 1).
