Diagnostic accuracy of CSF tap test parameters in normal pressure hydrocephalus: An ambispective cohort study

Puntos clave

• Diagnostic accuracy of CSF tap test parameters is crucial in diagnosing normal pressure hydrocephalus, guiding treatment decisions.
• Key evidence shows that specific CSF parameters can significantly aid in differentiating normal pressure hydrocephalus from other conditions.
• Assessment was conducted through a cohort study design, which included both prospective and retrospective data collection for comprehensive analysis.
• Identifying effective CSF tap test parameters may enhance diagnostic practices for normal pressure hydrocephalus, advocating for further studies.
