Predictors of Shunt Responsiveness and Long-term Outcomes in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Retrospective Cohort Study (P8-16.002)

Key Points

This research identifies predictors that can help determine which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus will have better outcomes after shunt surgery.
Retrospective cohort study design
Evaluated clinical, imaging, and CSF biomarkers
Analyzed associations with long-term outcomes post-shunt placement
Identified specific clinical and imaging predictors linked to positive long-term outcomes after shunt surgery
Demonstrated that certain CSF biomarkers significantly correlate with responsiveness to treatment

Abstract

This study aimed to identify clinical, imaging, and CSF biomarkers associated with favorable long-term outcomes following shunt placement.
