BACKGROUND: Fewer than 4% of @entity977 are @entity5 . These @entity5 predominantly represent metastatic disease from elsewhere. This study evaluates inpatient complications, demographics, and hospitalization characteristics of @entity1 who underwent @entity1104 ( @entity1104 ) for @entity4611 . METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was evaluated for @entity1104 @entity1 from 1998 to 2010. Demographics, hospitalization characteristics, and complications were evaluated among @entity1 with @entity5 and compared to those with @entity5 . RESULTS: There were 17,425 inpatient records, 1.0% of which involved @entity977 . There was no difference in age between these cohorts (p = 0.378). @entity1 with @entity5 had greater length of stay (6.7 days vs 4.5 days, p = 0.003) and higher trending charges ( 55,371 vs  40,550 p = 0.091). The most common @entity260 among @entity1 with @entity5 included @entity2010 ( @entity2010 ) (17.9%), fluid/electrolyte abnormalities (14.0%), @entity16 (5.6%), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) @entity5254 (2.2%), and @entity4611 (2.2%). @entity1 with @entity5 had a significantly greater rates of postoperative @entity2010 and fluid/electrolyte abnormalities (odds ratio = 2.0 and 1.7, respectively), whereas no statistical difference was noted in the rates of CSF @entity5254 (p = 0.372). CONCLUSION: In this analysis of inpatient hospitalizations for @entity1104 @entity1 , @entity5 was associated with a greater rate of postoperative @entity2010 and fluid/electrolyte abnormalities, but no differences in the rates of postoperative CSF @entity5254 and other complications were found. @entity1 with @entity4611 undergoing @entity1104 had significantly longer hospitalizations and higher trending charges than those with benign lesions. This analysis is, however, subject to the limitations of the database.
