Study Summary

Predictive analytics for GTR, EOR and RV are useful in surgical decision-making, particularly whenever there is no unequivocal indication for surgery. Several factors have been shown to have a role in predicting GTR. Among these, the Knosp classification has proven over the years to be a good predictor of GTR. The score is based on the lateral extension of the adenoma in relation the the intracranial bedding of the internal carotid artery. However, recent literature has demonstrated that the Knosp classification suffers from relatively poor interrater agreement. Moreover the classification was conceived in an era when endoscopic techniques were not available: nowadays endoscopic technique allows visualization and possibly also reaching portions of adenoma which at the time when the Knosp classification was introduced were simply not possible. Lastly, the efficacy of the Knosp's score in predicting also EOR and RV has never been tested. Recently a new score - the Zurich Pituitary Score (ZPS) has been proposed at the University Hospital of Zürich (USZ). The score has proved in the examined series to be more powerful than the Knosp classification in predicting GTR, EOR and RV. A good interrater agreement was also demonstrated. The score however, has been validated only in a monocentric setting with a limited number of patients. The aim of this study is to assess the (1) predictive ability of the ZPS for GTR, EOR, and RV, and (2) the inter-rater agreement of the ZPS in an external validation study.
