†Composite of three primary outcome measures; intraoperative CSF leak at 20 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for 20 s or wound infection within 30 days or postoperative percutaneous CSF leak.
‡Measured at 20 PEEP for 20 s.
§Treated with puncture, lumbar drainage or reoperation.
AEs, adverse events; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; DSP, dural sealant patch; FU, follow-up; SAEs, serious adverse events.
