This study shows that alarmingly surgical delay significantly worsens outcomes in patients with chronic subdural haematomas. Older age, antiplatelet therapy, milder neurological presentation and low frailty scores were key contributors to delay. jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/… @lavrador_jose @KingsNeuro

We published a five multicenter cohort study looking at Time to surgery and postoperative functional outcomes of 1015 cSDH patients @JNNP_BMJ . 🔗: doi.org/10.1136/jnnp-2… 👉increasing delay from referral to surgery was independently associated with worse functional outcomes

Thanks to all my coauthors - couldn’t have done it without you all.

🦴 Clinical Takeaway: Early surgical intervention = better odds MRC grade 3 ≠ better than 1 or 2 Recovery at 3 months = your predictive window 📊 These are now the most comprehensive foot drop outcome data in the literature.

🚨 New in #SpineSurgery Two major publications just dropped on surgical outcomes in foot drop 🦶📉 🧠 Largest meta-analysis to date 🏥 Multicenter UK cohort across 7 centres 📌 Key message: Timing & MRC grade matter. A lot. 👇 THREAD & LINKS

Collaborative publication effort: 7 UK sites We have published on "Surgical outcomes of unilateral painful foot drop secondary to lumbar disc herniation: a multicenter retrospective study" @TheJNS Spine. 👉early surgical intervention improved outcomes doi.org/10.3171/2024.1…

🚀 Exciting news! I've published three neurosurgical papers as first author in top-tier journals in the space of a week📚💉 Check out my mentors post on LinkedIn for more details on this journey! #neurosurgery @BHRUT_NHS @JCM_MDPI @TheJNS 👉 rb.gy/keb1uc

Publication alert 🚨 "Systematic review compares open vs MIS for IDEM spinal tumours: - Minimally invasive surgery shows comparable rates of total tumor resection with fewer complications, shorter length of stay vs open surgery @MDPIOpenAccess mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/5…

Publication Alert 🚨 Prognostic factors for motor recovery in foot drop due to lumbar disc herniation - age ≤47 , symptoms ≤6 weeks ⏳, pre-op MRC ≥2/5 , and ≥1 grade improvement 📈 by 3 months post-op. ⁦@EurSpineJournal⁩ ⁦@BASSspine⁩ ⁦ researchgate.net/publication/38…

Publication 🚨 A lot of effort and work went into this paper, which shows the importance of both pre- and intra- operative neuromonitoring in eloquent brain tumours. @lavrador_jose @KingsNeuro @TheLancet @eClinicalMed thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Merry Christmas 🎄 Publication 🚨 🚨 Thankful to the team and supervision from @A_RSadek @GordanGrahovac @lavrador_jose. 🎅🏼 Excited for new projects in 2025.

We have published a concept paper on "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation–Electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) in Neurosurgery: Unexplored Path Towards Personalized Brain Surgery" @MDPIOpenAccess JPM. mdpi.com/2075-4426/14/1… @lavrador_jose @AsfandBm @PrazNeuro @feras199 @Sabzp87
