About This Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leak Study in Pittsburgh

This retrospective observational cohort study compares the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive TachoSil® fibrin sealant patch with DuraSeal® hydrogel sealant for supporting dural sealing in adult patients undergoing cranial or spinal surgery at participating United States hospitals. Medical records will be reviewed to assess clinically evident cerebrospinal fluid leak or clinically evident pseudomeningocele within 90 days after surgery. The study will use 1:1 propensity score matching to evaluate whether TachoSil® is non-inferior to DuraSeal® and will assess additional effectiveness and safety outcomes.
