Multimodal Analysis to Predict Shunt Surgery Outcome of 284 Patients with Suspected Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Acta neurochirurgica(2016)
Abstract
Optimal selection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients for shunt surgery is challenging. Disease State Index (DSI) is a statistical method that merges multimodal data to assist clinical decision-making. It has previously been shown to be useful in predicting progression in mild cognitive impairment and differentiating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia. In this study, we use the DSI method to predict shunt surgery response for patients with iNPH.
