Significant predictors of acromegaly remission after neurosurgical treatment were age, preoperative level of growth hormone, tumor size and location, growth hormone and IGF-1 index in early postoperative period and residual tumor after surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association of acromegaly remission with small tumor size, low postoperative level of growth hormone and no residual tumor within 3-6 month after surgery.
