Finally, considering the analysis of persistent language deficit at 3 months, middle segment involvement ( p < 0.001, OR = 68.0, 95% CI 10.1–458), middle segment resection ( p < 0.001, OR = 246, 95% CI 11.8–5,131), superior segment involvement ( p = 0.027, OR = 5.17, 95% CI 1.32–20.2), and superior segment resection ( p = 0.005, OR = 8.25, 95% CI 1.89–36.0) demonstrated highly significant associations.
