Hydrocephalus Shunting in Supratentorial Glioblastoma: Functional Outcomes and Management
ConclusionVentricular system opening was identified as a risk factor for communicating hydrocephalus in glioblastoma patients. Although glioblastoma treatment remains challenging, shunting improved hydrocephalus-related functional status and may be considered even in a palliative setting for symptom relief.

The incidence of hydrocephalus among patients with and without spinal muscular atrophy (SMA): Results from a US electronic health records study
The incidence of hydrocephalus in the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) population relative to the general population is currently unknown. Since the approval of nusinersen, an intrathecally administered drug for ...

Characterization of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus using natural language processing within an electronic healthcare record system
CONCLUSIONS: This model demonstrates accurate, automated recognition of iNPH features from medical records. Opportunities for translation include detecting patients with undiagnosed iNPH from primary care records, with the aim to ultimately improve outcomes for these patients through artificial intelligence-driven early detection of iNPH and prompt treatment.PMID:36401545 | DOI:10.3171/2022.9.JNS221095

Risk factors associated with distal catheter migration following ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement
Publication date: Available online 6 November 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Kingsley O. Abode-Iyamah, Ryan Khanna, Zachary D. Rasmussen, Oliver Flouty, Nader S. Dahdaleh, Jeremy Greenlee, Matthew A. Howard Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is used to treat hydrocephalus. Shunt migration following VP shunt placement has been reported. The risk factors related to this complication have not been previously evaluated to our knowledge. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to determine risk factors leading to distal catheter migration and review the literature on the current met...

E-200 Use of artificial intelligence in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage to predict outcomes and complications
ConclusionThe proposed project utilizes prospective and retrospective data to develop a novel ML model to predict complications associated with aSAH, specifically cerebral vasospasm and HCP. The ultimate goal is to use ML in clinical practice for real-time patient risk assessment and optimization of physician decision making and efficient patient care.Disclosures M. McGrath: None. R.
