We sought to describe complications after resection for meningioma with the use of longitudinal administrative data, which our group has shown recently to be superior to nonlongitudinal administrative data. ⋯ In this study, we report complication rates in patients undergoing resection for meningioma. Because of the longitudinal nature of the MarketScan database, we were able to capture a wide array of specific postoperative complications associated with meningioma resection procedures. Care should be taken in the selection of candidates for meningioma resection.
