Risk factors for and outcomes of postoperative complications in adult patients with moyamoya disease.

CONCLUSIONS Advanced Suzuki stage and preoperative ischemic presentation were independent risk factors for postoperative ischemia; the mRS score on admission and preoperative ischemic presentation were independently associated with postoperative CHS. Although patients with postoperative complications had worse neurological status at discharge, postoperative complications had no associations with future stroke events or functional disability during follow-up.
