Neurosurgical diseases encompass a highly heterogeneous group of conditions, including oncological, malformative, traumatic, spinal, vascular, infectious diseases, and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics disorders. Several systematic reviews on the level of evidence in neurosurgical diseases have documented the low percentage of high-quality scientific evidence in this field of medicine. Clinical practice is strongly influenced by individual physician preferences, leading to significant heterogeneity among different centers both in Italy and internationally. This overall picture highlights the need for tools that can accurately characterize the numerous diagnostic variables influencing therapeutic outcomes in patients with neurosurgical diseases.
Primary Objective To establish a prospective data collection of adult patients with neurosurgical diseases, providing real-life data on the current management of patients at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome and the participating centers.
Secondary Objectives To create a database of adult patients with neurosurgical diseases who may be potential candidates for enrollment in clinical trials.
To conduct observational research on neurosurgical diseases, particularly in cases where no curative treatment options are currently available.
To identify potential predictors of poor outcomes or treatment response. To assess the clinical history and treatment response of patients, including for internal audit purposes (e.g., supporting Morbidity & Mortality conferences).
To provide support for the development and monitoring of quality indicators related to patient care.
