    Abstract

    Neurosurgical procedures are essential for treating various neurological conditions. However, understanding the impact of these procedures on patients' quality of life (QoL) and functional outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient care and outcomes. Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the QoL and functional outcomes in a cohort of 200 patients who had undergone neurosurgical procedures. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 200 patients who had previously undergone neurosurgical interventions. Patients were assessed using validated QoL and functional outcome assessment tools. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and statistical analysis was performed to identify patterns and associations. Results: Our findings reveal important insights into the QoL and functional outcomes of patients post-neurosurgery. We observed variations in outcomes related to different types of neurosurgical procedures, age groups, and preoperative conditions. Notably, some patients reported significant improvements in their QoL and functional status, while others faced challenges in their recovery. Conclusion: This cross-sectional study underscores the significance of assessing QoL and functional outcomes in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures. The results provide valuable information for healthcare providers to tailor postoperative care and support to individual patient needs. By recognizing the factors influencing post-neurosurgery outcomes, we can work towards enhancing the overall well-being and functional status of these patients.
