aWilcoxon 2-sample test for age comparison. Chi-squared or Fisher exact test where appropriate for categorical comparisons with the exception of intractable seizures. Intractable seizures are compared across IDH groups using Gray’s test in the competing risks setting. Post-surgical initial management was compared across IDH groups using Fisher exact test since dates of treatment were not known in all cases.
