Table 8. Patient-cluster robust sensitivity analyses (2011–2023)

Outcome Comparison N Odds ratio 95% CI p-value
CSF leakage 2017–2023 vs 2011–2016 337 2.85 0.86–9.38 0.085
CSF leakage Repeat vs initial recorded TSA 337 5.70 1.77–18.33 0.003
Sinonasal morbidity 2017–2023 vs 2011–2016 314 0.95 0.56–1.61 0.838
Sinonasal morbidity Repeat vs initial recorded TSA 314 1.79 0.83–3.89 0.138
Separate univariable binomial logistic generalized linear models with patient-cluster robust standard errors were fitted for each row.
These account for within-patient correlation but do not adjust for tumor complexity, surgeon, or reconstruction method.
p-values are exploratory and unadjusted for multiplicity. All models include only 2011–2023 outcomes.
CI, confidence interval; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; TSA, transsphenoidal approach.
