ABSTRACT: Preoperative corticosteroid use was linked to an increment in postoperative infectious complications. To determine whether corticosteroid use increases complication risks after surgical procedures, a group of patients who underwent neurosurgical procedures from 2005 to 2010 at a surgical center and took part in the National Surgical Quality improvement program was investigated. The corticosteroid use was specified as at least two weeks of parental or oral therapeutics for about amount before surgery is done. Corticosteroids played a critical role in surgical procedures since they are very important immunosuppressant drugs; they are usually used in patients to reduce inflammation, pain, and edema. In neurosurgery, corticosteroids are known to improve functional outcomes, minimize inflammation and preoperative swellings; therefore, corticosteroids are vital in the neurosurgical setting, although their risks are not clearly known. The correlation between complications and corticosteroid use before surgery was evaluated. Patients were monitored postoperatively for a duration of 30 days to point out and record any death or complications. The research is related to the NSQIP data and is exempt from any other assessment. Propensity score analysis was applied to investigate the link between preoperative corticosteroid use and postoperative complications. The findings and results were deduced using that method.
