    A, Surgical risk versus cost (adjusted for cost of embolization). Spetzler-Martin grades V and IV differed from all other grades (P < .005 and P < .05, respectively).

    B, Surgical risk versus days in the hospital (adjusted for effect of embolization). Spetzler-Martin grades V and IV differed from grades III and II (P < .005 and P < .05, respectively).

    All values shown as mean ± SEM.

    A, Postoperative neurologic status versus cost (adjusted for preoperative embolization). Difference in cost was significant (P = .016).

    B, Postoperative neurologic status versus days in hospital (adjusted for preoperative embolization). Difference in length of stay was significant (P = .008).

    All values shown as mean ± SEM.
