Table 1 General patient characteristics with data presentation and statistical analysis depending on WHO grades of a meningioma. Note the statistically significant difference in the patients’ HbA1c between patients with different meningioma grades. Note also that grade 2 meningiomas had a higher expression of Ki67 reactivity, indicating that they exhibited more cellular proliferation
