What is Pattern of technology diffusion in the adoption of stereotactic laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) in neuro-oncology about?
## Purpose: Understanding factors that influence technology diffusion is central to clinical translation of novel therapies. we characterized the pattern of adoption for laser interstitial thermal therapy (litt), also known as stereotactic laser ablation (sla), in neuro-oncology using the national inpatient sample (nis) database. ## Methods: We identified patients age ≥ 18 in the nis (2012-2018) with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic brain tumor that underwent litt or craniotomy. we compared characteristics and outcomes for patients that underwent these procedures. ## Results: Litt utilization increased ~ 400% relative to craniotomy during the study period. despite this increase, the total number of litt procedures performed for brain tumor was 2 comorbidities (or 0.64, ci 0.51-0.79) or to be older (or 0.92, ci 0.86-0.99) and more likely to be female (or 1.35, ci 1.08-1.69), caucasian compared to black (or 1.94, ci 1.12-3.36), and covered by private insurance compared to medicare or medicaid (or 1.38, ci 1.09-1.74). litt hospital stays were 50% shorter than craniotomy (irr 0.52, ci 0.45-0.61). however, charges related to the procedures were comparable between litt and cranioto
